Mississippi Department of Employment Security v. Shields

GRIFFIS, J., for the Court:

¶ 1. The Mississippi Department of Employment Security (“MDES”) appeals the judgment of the Humphreys County Circuit Court, which reversed the denial of unemployment benefits by the MDES Board of Review (“Board of Review”). MDES argues that the circuit court substituted its own judgment for that of the Board of Review when it found that there was insufficient evidence that Chandra Shields voluntarily abandoned her employ ment. We agree; therefore, the judgment of the circuit court is reversed and rendered.

FACTS

¶2. Shields was employed by Lowes Home Centers, Inc.…
