Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant satisfied the duty to mitigate damage by pursuing unpaid wages before and after the employer's bankruptcy.
Solution extraite
She did not act sufficiently once no wages had been paid and the bankruptcy had been opened; verbal reminders were not enough in the circumstances.
Motifs extraits
The court held that, especially where no wage payments had ever been made and the situation remained unresolved, the claimant had to take timely written steps after the bankruptcy opening. Continued reliance on verbal assurances was objectively unjustified.
