Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Hills v. Canada (Attorney General), [1988] 1 SCR 513, 1988 CanLII 67 (SCC):
38. Wilson J., in the course of her reasons in Abrahams v. Attorney General of Canada, 1983 CanLII 17 (SCC), [1983] 1 S.C.R. 2, stated at p. 10: Since the overall purpose of the Act is to make benefits available to the unemployed, I would favour a liberal interpretation of the re‑entitlement provisions. I think any doubt arising from the difficulties of the language should be resolved in favour of the claimant.
