Summary:
Claimant quit to follow her 8-month common-law partner. She argued that had she married she would only have to be married one day to have just cause for leaving employment. She felt that the Reg. were discriminatory. Umpire agreed with claimant but was satisfied that the law was stated for a good reason. It demands a sufficient commitment to permit persons to utilize the benefits and obligations of the law. Marriage is a formal commitment and does not require a time element.
