Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant was exempt from the contribution-period requirement due to sickness or incapacity.
Solution extraite
He was not exempt, because he was found fully capable of adapted work and was therefore able to seek contributory employment within the relevant period.
Motifs extraits
The court accepted the medical assessment that he was 100% fit for a back-adapted activity from 18 March 2004. Exemption under Art. 14 AVIG is assessed objectively; the claimant was not prevented from working and the prior IV decision had already made clear that adapted work was reasonably exigible.
