Summary:
Loss of employment due to a labour dispute. Found new insurable employment elsewhere. Umpire determined that “regularly” does not refer to the duration of the employment but rather to its continuity, the employment in question being continuous in the sense that it lasted until termination. The claimant was required to perform the same work according to the same schedule, and was subject to the same circumstances, temperature and other factors as the other employees involving in doing the same kind of work. Umpire therefore found that paragraph 31(1)(b) of the Act applied because he had no doubt that “this new employment” was real, serious and authentic.
