Summary:
According to the Umpire, there is just cause to warrant antedating since the claimant was unaware of the changes made to his contract. In this case, the claimant sincerely believed that his teaching contract took effect on July 1, 1997. However, during his holidays, things changed and he was issued a contract effective September 1, 1997. He thus became unemployed from June 30 to September 1. If he had been informed of this situation, he could have filed a claim immediately at the end of June.
