Question juridique clé
Whether the five-day suspension for late filing of job-search evidence was proportionate
Solution extraite
The cantonal court did not abuse its discretion in reducing the suspension to three days because the insured had in fact made sufficient job-search efforts and the delay was a first-time, relatively slight fault.
Motifs extraits
The federal court held that Art. 26 al. 2 OACI does not require the same sanction as for no job searches at all. The assessment of the suspension length must also respect proportionality and remains reviewable only for abuse of discretion. The cantonal court could, without violating the law, depart from the seco guideline and impose a lighter sanction.
