Question juridique clé
Was the 12-day unemployment suspension for insufficient job search justified under Art. 30(1)(c) and Art. 17 LACI, in light of the insured's efforts during the fixed-term contract?
Solution extraite
Yes. The insured had to search for work before unemployment became effective, and three job applications in December 2007 were insufficient; registrations with temporary agencies did not count as concrete job-search efforts.
Motifs extraits
Without a firm promise of renewal, a fixed-term employee must intensify job search before expiry of the contract. The additional alleged searches were not reliable and were contradicted by the insured's earlier statements; agency registrations are not equivalent to job applications.
