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

Summary:

Claimant had stayed for another 9 months in Saskatoon after her common law spouse of 8 months had moved to Moncton. Considering the distance factor, found by Umpire that it was virtually impossible for the claimant to conduct a job search. The BOR has failed to properly address the issue of whether having regard to all the circumstances (distance between both localities) the claimant had no reasonable alternative to leaving her employment. FCA refused to interfere.
