Key legal question
Whether the company was in good faith when receiving short-time work compensation
Extracted holding
The company could not rely on good faith because destroying the handwritten time records after transfer to the official form amounted to gross negligence.
Extracted reasoning
Even if the company may have believed its system was sufficient, the brochures and forms warned that working time must be controllable and records must be kept for five years. The duty to inquire rested on the applicant, and no sufficient reliance on incorrect official advice was shown.
