Summary:
The claimant was a shareholder, partner and officer of a company. As a result of financial difficulties of the company, it was agreed that the claimant's partner would buy the claimant's shares in the business. The buyout allowed the company to carry on its operations and saved most of the employees' jobs. The FCA found that the claimant had not met the requirement of s. 51(2)(d) of the EIR which states that the employer must document the requirements of s. 51(2)(a)(b)(c) of the EIR. Finally, with respect to 29(c)(vii) of the EIA, the FCA found that the record revealed that the claimant had never provided «reduction of salary» as a reason for leaving his employment.
