Key legal question
Whether the claimant's unemployment was self-caused because he himself terminated the employment contract under Art. 44 lit. b AVIV.
Extracted holding
It could not be established with sufficient probability that the employer's termination had been validly withdrawn and that the claimant's letter of 7 September 2004 had terminated the employment relationship.
Extracted reasoning
Under the facts, the employer's termination was only ineffective if the claimant had agreed to the alleged withdrawal. The file did not show such consent; the claimant's letter was more likely a rejection of continued work under the employer's conditions. Therefore Art. 44 lit. b AVIV did not apply.
