Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the respondent qualified as a 'false' frontier worker under the EU/Swiss coordination rules and could claim Swiss unemployment benefits.
Extrahierter Entscheid
He had retained sufficiently close personal and professional ties with Switzerland to be treated as a 'false' frontier worker and could in principle claim benefits in Switzerland.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the Miethe line of case law, a frontier worker who exceptionally has the best chances of professional reintegration in the state of last employment falls under the special rule for non-true frontier workers. The court found such ties and better reintegration prospects in Switzerland.
