Decision Appealed Appellant Corresponding Case
Dismissed Unanimous  No N/A  20793 


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  special reasons  delay due to representative 

Summary:

The Umpire refused to extend the time since the reason for delay (waiting to hear concerning representations made by M.P. to Minister) was not a proper and justifiable reason. Such a decision falls within the Umpire's discretion and can only be reversed where that discretion is exercised improperly.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  to accompany spouse 

Summary:

Did not live with fiance while in Regina and moved to Hull to be with him. CUB 4652 bears precisely on this: relationship purely voluntary. She had a right to do so but no obligation. The community at large expects of married couples that they maintain a home. No comment from FC.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
board of referees  jurisdiction  priority of law 

Summary:

Claimant was given wrong advice by CEIC staff in the course of moving from Regina to be with fiance in Hull. The Umpire correctly applied the rationale of the GRANGER case and was correct when he decided: The Commission in law owes her no benefits of any kind.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
umpires  special reasons  appealable  time for appeal to umpire 

Summary:

The Umpire refused to extend the time since the reason for delay (waiting to hear concerning representations made by M.P. to Minister) was not a proper and justifiable reason. Such a decision falls within the Umpire's discretion and can only be reversed where that discretion is exercised improperly.
