Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the insured had a right to unemployment benefits from 1 August 2012 despite her spouse being the sole director of the employer company.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. As long as the company had not been formally liquidated and her spouse remained able to determine the employer’s decisions, she was not entitled to unemployment benefits.
Extrahierte Begründung
A person in a position comparable to an employer cannot claim unemployment benefits if the decisive control over the employer remains. The company’s cessation of business activities was insufficient without formal liquidation, and the spouse’s continued registration as sole director meant the risk of employer influence persisted.
