Questão jurídica principal
Whether the claimant had to seek suitable work before registering as unemployed and whether the lack of pre-registration job search justified a suspension in benefits.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The claimant was obliged to make all reasonable efforts to avoid or shorten unemployment, including before registering, and his failure to do so justified the suspension.
Fundamentação extraída
Under the duty to mitigate loss, insufficient job search exists already when the insured person does not do everything reasonable to avert impending damage. It was reasonable to apply even without a final application profile or exact starting date, and the burden of exam preparation did not exempt him from the statutory duty.
