Question juridique clé
Whether the insured person’s resignation justified the maximum 40-day suspension for self-inflicted unemployment.
Solution extraite
The resignation justified a suspension, but the maximum 40-day sanction was too severe; 30 days was appropriate.
Motifs extraits
A maximum suspension is reserved for cases where the insured’s conduct is entirely inexcusable. Although the unemployment was seriously self-inflicted, the strained and lasting conflict with students and school management, together with the pressure on the insured and the absence of any breach of contractual duties, made the conduct more understandable and required mitigation.
