Summary:
Quit job in 02-94 in order to be able to benefit from a severance package. Reason for accepting the buy-out was that she would be moving in 06-94 to be with her husband. FCA's reasoning in Tanguay reinforced: an employee "who leaves his employment for the purpose of gaining some monetary advantage" is "not a circumstance which justifies him in putting himself in a position where he risks having to go back on unemployment".

Summary:
Quit job in 02-94 in order to be able to benefit from a severance package. Reason for accepting the buy-out was that she would be moving in 06-94 to be with her husband. FCA stated that if a claimant leaves his or her job early, that is, at a date which is not within reasonable proximity to the date of the event which represents just cause for v.l. then, in the absence of a separate just cause, claimant is barred from receiving benefits by virtue of ss. 28(1) of the Act.
