Key legal question
Whether the respondent was employable for unemployment insurance purposes despite childcare duties during 3 December 2004 to 4 February 2005.
Extracted holding
He was sufficiently available for work at least to the extent of a 50% position; the denial of employability was not justified.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that childcare obligations do not automatically defeat employability. The respondent had daily time availability compatible with part-time work, and the record made it sufficiently likely that his mother would cover childcare during school holidays and other gaps. The cantonal findings on commuting time and availability were not unreasonable.
