Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant was entitled to insolvency compensation under unemployment insurance law.
Solution extraite
No. Because he had an employer-like position with decisive influence over the business, he was excluded from insolvency compensation.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted the lower court's findings that the claimant, by his statutory and factual functions, had operational control, access to bookkeeping, and significant influence until shortly before bankruptcy; such a position falls within the statutory exclusion.
