Key legal question
Whether the appellant was entitled to unemployment benefits despite an employer-like position in the GmbH.
Extracted holding
No entitlement existed because he retained decisive control over the company even after liquidation and could reactivate the business.
Extracted reasoning
The analogical application of Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG to unemployment benefits excludes persons who can still determine the employer's decisions and thus face an inherent risk of abuse.
