G. M. v. Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The Tribunal granted an extension of time in the interest of justice but refused leave to appeal because the Applicant did not establish any arguable reviewable error: the additional bank letter was not new evidence under s.66 DESD Act and the General Division did not err in law or fact such that the appeal had a reasonable chance of success.

A. M. v. Canada Employment Insurance Commission

The CBSA Traveller's Declaration was accepted as reliable evidence that the Appellant was outside Canada from December 10, 2016 to January 13, 2017; the Appellant failed to prove presence in Canada or availability for work or sustained reasonable/customary job search during that period, and his online reports denying travel were false; he was found to have knowingly misrepresented his out‑of‑Canada status on three reports, so disentitlement, an overpayment of $1,890, a $945 penalty and a serious notice of violation were justified and the Respondent exercised its discretion judicially.

  • Availability for work
  • Disentitlement for being outside canada
  • Reasonable and customary job search
  • Misrepresentation and penalties
  • Notice of violation

M. S. v. Canada Employment Insurance Commission

From the date the claimant signed the lease (March 30, 2010) he was engaged in the operation of a business and, given the significant time spent and financial commitments, he did not rebut the presumption that he worked full working weeks under s.30(1); his repeated false answers on bi-weekly reports demonstrate subjective knowledge that information was false and the Respondent properly exercised its discretion to issue a warning under s.41.1 rather than impose a penalty.

  • Self-employment disentitlement
  • Availability for work
  • Misrepresentation and penalties

Canada (Attorney General) v. Renaud

The Umpire erred in refusing to intervene because the Board of Referees applied facts and evidence from a later benefit period to the period in dispute and failed to analyze evidence material to the contested period; therefore the Umpire's decision was set aside and the matter remitted for rehearing limited to the period Sept 15, 2002 to May 10, 2003.
