B. E. v. Canada Employment Insurance Commission

B. E. v. Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The benefit period could not be extended because the Appellant did not satisfy any of the statutory grounds in s.10(10); payments from a motor vehicle insurer do not constitute "payments under a provincial law" under s.10(10)(d), and once the 52-week benefit period ended no further benefits are payable.
