Summary:

Left employment in Brantford, Ont. to move with husband to an Indian Reserve. No real employment opportunity. Loss of employment and difficulty in finding new employment for reasons entirely beyond control. Unable to say Umpire erred in fixing 2 months as reasonable time. As a matter of public policy, claimant's move (to accompany husband) must be regarded as one which she had no option but to make. This is more than good cause and personal reasons. Reasonable time to be allowed no matter how forlorn her chances of finding work.
