Key legal question
Whether the breakup of a cohabitation counts as a 'similar reason' under Art. 14(2) AVIG and exempts the respondent from the contribution period.
Extracted holding
No. The Court held that the established case law remains correct: termination of a cohabitation does not qualify as a similar reason under Art. 14(2) AVIG.
Extracted reasoning
There is no statutory mutual support duty comparable to marriage, no protected reliance position, and the legislature and ordinance maker did not extend the exemption to former cohabitants despite later changes in related areas.
