Key legal question
Whether the claimant was entitled to unemployment benefits from 2017-11-01 despite her husband’s employer-like position in the former employer company.
Extracted holding
No. Because the husband remained sole member of the board with individual signature, the claimant fell within the absolute exclusion for spouses of employer-like persons.
Extracted reasoning
The court applied the settled analogy between Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG and unemployment benefits under Art. 8 ff. AVIG. The decisive point was that the husband’s employer-like position continued; there was no definitive closure of the business or final loss of the disqualifying characteristics.
