Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  definition 

Summary:

Left a job about to terminate to take a course. The Commission submits that none of the 5 conditions enumerated in 28(4)(a) to (e) apply in this case. However, this does not end the matter. "Just cause" is not limited to the 5 enumerated conditions, but can include a range of other conditions.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  personal reasons  courses of study 

Summary:

The case law makes it very clear that return to school in itself is not just cause. Distinguishing factor unique here: if claimant did not act when he did, an opportunity would pass by, in circumstances where the remaining employment was limited and the likelihood of unemployment after very high.
