Key legal question
Whether the claimant was entitled to unemployment benefits despite his corporate positions and shareholdings
Extracted holding
No. He still had decisive influence in several companies and therefore retained an employer-like position incompatible with entitlement.
Extracted reasoning
As a member of company boards and sole shareholder or controlling participant in relevant firms, he had a massgebende Entscheidungsbefugnis. For such persons, the risk of abuse justifies exclusion under the established case law applying Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG by analogy.
