Summary:
The claimant had been unable to work because of his commitment to the criminal court not to enter Ontario. The Board of Referees recognized that the claimant had not been incarcerated, but nonetheless found that the limitation on his movements imposed by the Court could qualify him for an extension of his qualifying period. The Umpire stated that there was no evidence that the claimant had been "confined in a jail, penitentiary or other similar institution" as stipulated in paragraph 8(2)(b) of the Act. He restored the Commission's ruling.
