The EI homepage at http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sc/ei/index.shtml has links to legislation, a jurisprudence library, and to the SST and  Umpires sections. This site is a good place to start, though one should be aware that certain sections may be dated or not have the information most useful to building a good case for a claimant. The Jurisprudence Library  has decisions by the Umpires, the Federal Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court of Canada. These decisions can be searched via a search engine at www.ei-ae.gc.ca/en/library/search.shtml.

A very useful resource can be found in the "Employment Insurance Appeal Decisions Favourable to Workers" decisions database. The database  makes available a collection of Employment Insurance jurisprudence where decisions were favourable to workers. One should be aware,  however, that this section has not been updated to reflect some recent rulings favourable to workers. At the time of writing, this section was last updated in September 2012. More information and a link to the database can be found at https://www.ei.gc.ca/eng/board/favourable_jurisprudence/favourable_decisions_toc.shtml
