Key legal question
Whether a serving board member with significant influence is entitled to unemployment benefits
Extracted holding
No. A board member who has statutory influence within the meaning of Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG is excluded from entitlement.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant was a board member and therefore fell under the personal exclusion ground of Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG. The Court held that no further inquiry into his concrete duties, shareholding, or company organization was necessary.
