Key legal question
Whether the claimant's conduct amounted to refusal of suitable work justifying a suspension of unemployment benefits.
Extracted holding
Yes. By not clearly accepting the assigned job and by making reservations that caused the hiring opportunity to fail, the claimant effectively refused suitable work.
Extracted reasoning
The job met the criteria of suitable work under Art. 16 LACI. The Court relied on the first statements made by the claimant and found no proof that the employer had required police attestation. His conduct was therefore equivalent to a refusal under Art. 30 al. 1 let. d LACI.
