Key legal question
Whether the claimant was released from the unemployment insurance contribution period after divorce under Art. 14 para. 2 LACI.
Extracted holding
Yes. The court held that the divorce and the financial consequences of the divorce created a causal need to resume gainful employment.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court wrongly assessed economic necessity by looking only at the immediate capital received in 2010. The capital maintenance payment had to be capitalized over the period until retirement, and the assets from pension sharing were for old-age provision. On that basis, the claimant's available resources did not cover her current and medium-term needs, so the causal link required by Art. 14 para. 2 LACI was established.
