Summary:
In determining whether medical reasons constituted just cause for leaving, the Umpire applied a subjective test rather than an objective one and reached a conclusion favourable to the claimant in the absence of any objective evidence. This is an error that warrants the intervention of this Court.

Summary:
The Umpire substituted the Board's view of the facts for his own without asking himself whether there was evidence in the record before the Board to support its conclusion and without first finding that the Board had erred in principle in reaching its conclusion. See McCARTHY.
