What is the effect of having to change the reasons for a worker’s unemployment?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from WCAT-2014-03409 (Re), 2014 CanLII 91802 (BC WCAT):
The worker’s counsel has referred me to Bandic v. WCAT, 2013 BCSC 2063 (CanLII). In that case Mr. Justice Wong pointed out that a new decision about the reasons for a worker’s unemployment was required when a new permanent condition was accepted. The desirability of consistency with prior appellate decisions does not outweigh the requirement for a new decision especially when some of the most relevant factors have changed.
