Question juridique clé
Whether the unemployment fund could reduce insured earnings under Art. 40b AVIV based only on an IV preliminary notice that was still contested.
Solution extraite
No. A contested preliminary notice did not provide a sufficient basis for reducing insured earnings; the IV decision came too late for the relevant period.
Motifs extraits
When objections are filed against the preliminary notice, the outcome remains uncertain. As a rule, insured earnings may be adjusted only once the IV decision exists, unless the degree of earning incapacity is already clearly established in an exception not present here.
