Summary:
Here, claimant's wife moved to Kamloops to pursue her education. Such activity is by its nature temporary. Also, there is considerable personal choice in deciding where to pursue studies. I cannot characterize the leaving of employment by claimant as just cause.
It has long been held to be just cause for one spouse to leave to follow the other spouse when that other has taken employment in the new location. This circumstance justifies one member of the couple leaving employment and taking the risk of becoming unemployed.
