Summary:
In the summer of 1997, claimant's wife gave him an ultimatum that if the relationship was to continue he would need to work around home instead of up North. He left before Christmas 1997 to return home to go to school and he did not request leave before leaving. Claimant decided not to return to work, alleging the necessity to follow a spouse and also take a course of study. Disqualification imposed for having left his employment without just cause. Decision upheld by Umpire. Claimant initially took the position while fully aware that it would mean living away from his wife. It cannot retroactively be good cause for him to leave in order to relocate with her without showing he had no other alternative.
