Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant was entitled to insolvency compensation under AVIG despite long-standing wage arrears and late enforcement steps.
Decisão extraída
No. The appellant grossly breached his duty to mitigate loss by waiting too long to take legal enforcement measures, so the entitlement to insolvency compensation lapsed.
Fundamentação extraída
Although he repeatedly demanded payment in writing, he knew for months that the employer was persistently late or in arrears, had already faced a first bankruptcy, and had not honored earlier promises. By autumn 2017 he had to realize that voluntary payment was unlikely, yet he still limited himself to renewed reminders and only threatened enforcement at the very end.
