Key legal question
Whether the claimant had a right to social assistance for 24 November 2010 to end January 2011
Extracted holding
No entitlement was shown because the claimant had not made sufficient and timely efforts to obtain work and to overcome his financial need by his own means.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court upheld the finding that the claimant's job-search efforts, especially outside the legal field, were quantitatively and temporally insufficient; he could also have built up reserves for January 2011.
