Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the five-day suspension of unemployment benefits was justified because the insured failed to sufficiently search for work during the notice period.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. By making no job-search efforts during his foreign vacations and leaving the first week after notice essentially unused, the insured breached his duty to mitigate damage.
Extrahierte Begründung
The factual findings showed that searches were concentrated only in late August and September. The insured could be expected to organize vacations so as to allow at least minimal job-search efforts, and he could also have used the week following notice for applications.
