Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
basic concepts  rate of unemployment 

Summary:

Benefits based on regional rate of unemployment alleged to be not a fair method in that it constitutes discrimination against older workers who have more difficulty in finding work. This is a fact of life and not created by legislation. Not a Charter case.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
basic concepts  benefit periods  duration 

Summary:

After 42 weeks his UI ran out as this was his maximum entitlement. It is not correct to say that a claimant is entitled to 52 weeks of UI, this being the maximum of a claimant and varies in each individual case.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  natural justice  defined 

Summary:

As is frequently the case, claimant equates the concept of natural justice with that of fairness and what he is really complaining is that the law is unfair which, even if so, would not be an issue for the Umpire.
