Key legal question
Whether the six-day suspension in entitlement to unemployment benefits was lawful
Extracted holding
The appeal was dismissed; the sanction was upheld because the insured person did not show an excusable reason for missing the mandatory course and therefore failed to follow an official instruction.
Extracted reasoning
The court found it not sufficiently proven that the Brussels events or university obligations made course attendance unreasonable. He had known the course dates since February 2016 and did not timely notify the office or request alternative dates.
