Procedural Posture

Employment Insurance Leave to Appeal / Permission to Appeal (appeal Division)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the General Division erred in law or fact in determining entitlement to 14 weeks of EI benefits
  2. 2 Whether the claimant is entitled to 22 weeks of benefits based on the regional unemployment rate
  3. 3 Whether the General Division’s process was unfair or failed to decide an issue it should have

Ratio Decidendi

Permission to appeal refused because the claimant failed to raise an arguable reviewable error: evidence showed 609 insurable hours and a 5.7% unemployment rate which yields 14 weeks under the Table of Weeks; the claimant’s reliance on the wrong table does not demonstrate error by the General Division and so the appeal has no reasonable chance of success.

Court Disposition

Permission to appeal refused; the appeal will not proceed.
