Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant met the contribution-period requirement for unemployment benefits despite his accident-related absence from work.
Solution extraite
He had less than the required twelve months of contributory employment, but the shortfall was attributable to an accident-related exemption from the contribution-period requirement.
Motifs extraits
The relevant contribution period contained only eleven months and twelve days of insurable work. Because the claimant was prevented from working by accident, Art. 14(1)(b) AVIG applied, so the absence of the full contribution period did not bar entitlement.
