Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the claimant could obtain waiver of repayment of unemployment benefits under good-faith and hardship requirements.
Decisione estratta
The claimant could not rely on good faith because, despite some indications in his favor, he should have recognized that he was not unemployed while his employment contract remained valid.
Motivazione estratta
The Court accepted that ignorance of unlawfulness may have been absent, but held that due attention required recognizing that unemployment is a basic prerequisite for entitlement and that this is knowable even without legal training. The cantonal finding of gross negligence was not a violation of federal law or manifestly incorrect.
