Decision Appealed Appellant Corresponding Case
Allowed Unanimous - Returned to the ump  No Commission 


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  personal reasons  courses of study 

Summary:

Claimant left job to attend medical school. However, admission deferred for 1 year. FCA reiterated the principle that leaving a job to go to school is not just cause. The fact that the claimant could not attend the course later cannot create a just cause where none existed when claimant left job.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  reasonable circumstance as prescribed 

Summary:

It cannot be said that this case falls within the language "such other reasonable circumstances as prescribed" because none have been prescribed by regulations adopted by the Commission.


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
voluntarily leaving employment  just cause  other employment 

Summary:

It cannot be said at the time he resigned his employment on the expectation that he had been admitted to medical school that the applicant has a "reasonable assurance of other employment". Reference made to Tanguay (A-1458-84).
