Questão jurídica principal
Whether contribution periods and exemption periods under unemployment insurance can be cumulated to satisfy entitlement conditions
Decisão extraída
They cannot be cumulated; Article 14 LACI is subsidiary to Article 13 LACI and applies only where the contribution-period conditions are not met.
Fundamentação extraída
The statutory system distinguishes contribution periods from exemption from contribution-period requirements. Precedent confirms that a shortfall in contribution time cannot be filled by exemption periods, or vice versa. The 2003 amendment to Article 13 did not change this structure.
