Key legal question
Whether the respondent was fit for placement from 1 September to 18 October 2007.
Extracted holding
Yes. The respondent remained willing to accept full-time work and the employer's part-time job and training did not justify denying placement suitability.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court accepted the cantonal finding that he was prepared to interrupt either his training or part-time teaching to take full-time employment. The appellant did not show manifestly incorrect fact-finding. Abandoning the training was not, by itself, a prerequisite for placement suitability, and the part-time job resignation could at most raise a separate suspension issue under unemployment insurance rules.
