Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

Decided August 8, 1983.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alan A. Toubman (orally), Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Inc., Presque Isle, Thomas H. Kelley, Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Portland, for plaintiff.

Peter J. Brann (orally), Asst. Atty. Gen., Maine Employment Sec. Com'n, Augusta, for defendant.

Before GODFREY, NICHOLS, ROBERTS, VIOLETTE and WATHEN, JJ., and DUFRESNE, A.R.J.


ROBERTS, Justice.

Maurice P. Boucher appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court, Aroostook County, which affirmed a decision of the Maine Employment Security Commission disqualifying him from receiving unemployment benefits. Boucher contends that a substantial reduction in pay constitutes "good cause" for terminating employment under 26 M.R.S.A. § 1193(1)(A) (Supp.1982-1983). Because we agree, we reverse the judgment of the Superior Court.
