Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
availability for work  restrictions  transportation difficulties 

Summary:

Work offered for 3 weeks. No transportation. He had expressed a willingness to work anywhere. The implications of the decision are startling: when public transportation is not available, one must purchase a car. It should have been dealt with under s.27, not s.14(a).


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
basic concepts  disqualification  employment about to terminate 

Summary:

If s.27 had been invoked it is likely that the usual practice, where a temporary job is involved, of reducing the maximum 6 weeks disqualification to the expected duration of the temporary employment would have been imposed. [obiter dictum]


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  issue not recognized  decision not to reconsider 

Summary:

The fact situation here should have been dealt with under s.27, not 14(a). However, there is no authority to convert a notice of disqualification given for one reason into a disqualification for another. See VON FINDENIGG.
