Key legal question
Whether the claimant's right to unemployment benefits was forfeited by late filing of the required documents.
Extracted holding
Although the statutory filing period had expired, the claimant could rely on the authorities' conduct and advice, so the claim was not forfeited.
Extracted reasoning
The RAV had told him to submit the employer certificates only after the court proceedings, this was recorded on the application form, the fund did not renew its request, and the claimant could reasonably trust that late filing would not lead to loss of benefits.
