Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to unemployment benefits from 11 August 2005 despite lacking the contribution period.
Extracted holding
No. She had not earned any contribution period, and the court upheld the finding that no exemption ground applied.
Extracted reasoning
The medical treatment and IV assessments did not make employment impossible. She was at least partially employable and could have earned the minimum contribution period through part-time work; the factual findings were not shown to be manifestly incorrect.
