Summary:
Their relationship fell short of one year and, in light of examples from other statutory provisions concerning recognition of common law relationships, claimant might well not be regarded as a typical common law spouse. However, considering all the circumstances, she had just cause for leaving.
CUB 22033 not followed. As per the Human Rights Act, "spouse" in para. 28(4)(b) includes common law spouses. This does not mean just cause in all such cases. But in this case, considering all the circumstances, claimant had just cause even though their relationship fell short of one year.
