The following excerpt is from Canada (Attorney General) v. Laughland, 2003 FCA 129 (CanLII):
He went on, at paragraph 11, to quote Lord Denning in Crewe and others v. Social Security Commission, [1982] 2 All E.R. 745: ... it is not sufficient for him to prove that he was quite reasonable in leaving his employment. Reasonableness may be "good cause", but it is not necessarily "just cause".
