| Decision 43229 Full Text | | Issue: | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | week of unemployment | proof | | | Summary:
Commission determined that the claimant is self-employed during the farming season. Claimant alleged that he does not work on the farm, but that it is just his wife and children who do so. Umpire found that the scale of the farm operation, the annual income of $42,415.65, the agricultural loan and the lack of proof of a thorough job search constitute sufficient evidence that the claimant chose to work on the farm during the summer.

| Decision A-0250.97 Full Text | | Issue: | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | week of unemployment | proof | | | Summary:
Claimant found not unemployed based on the evidence on file. However, based on the evidence submitted at the hearing, the BOR allowed the claimant's appeal. The Commission appealed to the Umpire alleging that the BOR had solely based its decision on the evidence produced at the hearing. The Umpire refused however to interfere stating that there was credible evidence and that the Board's decision was well-founded. The FCA dismissed the Commission's appeal being not convinced of the inadequacies of the presentation by the Commission or of the paucity of findings of fact by the BOR or by the Umpire. |

| Decision 24159 Full Text | | Issue: | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | week of unemployment | proof | | | Summary:
Once the CEIC establishes a prima facie case of self-employment, the onus shifts to claimant to show that the employment is minor in extent. He could have introduced evidence to this end. He did not do so. I would draw an adverse inference from his failure to do so and his failure to keep records. |

In saying CEIC did not prove the services rendered were rendered full-time and that the insured was not rendering them for free, the Board clearly contravened para. 40(1) which puts this burden on the beneficiary. That was an error in law. | | Other Issue(s): | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | board of referees | errors in law | burden of proof | |

| Decision 18082 Full Text | | Issue: | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | week of unemployment | proof | | | Summary:
As per FALARDEAU, ss.40(1) imposes on claimant the burden of establishing his eligibility in all cases. This cannot mean that the CEIC may baldly assert that he is self-employed and put him to the strict proof that he is not. It must build a prima faciacase for him to refute. | | Other Issue(s): | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | week of unemployment | business of a spouse | | | | week of unemployment | work without earnings | | | | claim procedure | proof required for entitlement | | |

The documentary evidence shows that he operated a business on a continuing basis. He subsequently says that he never intended to do this. Faced with these contradictions, the only possible conclusion was to hold that he did not prove that he was unemployed. | | Other Issue(s): | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | umpires | grounds of appeal | without regard for material | | | board of referees | hearings | tape-recording | |

The Board's decision [to not give benefit of doubt to claimant] is unassailable. Ss. 54(1) imposes on him the burden of proof in all cases, on a balance of probabilities. If, after hearing evidence, the Board only had a doubt as to his eligibility, burden clearly not discharged. | | Other Issue(s): | Sub-Issue 1: | Sub-Issue 2: | Sub-Issue 3: | | claim procedure | proof required for entitlement | | |
