Key legal question
Whether the insured had a claim to insolvency compensation despite waiting five months after summary dismissal before filing suit.
Extracted holding
No. The five-month delay after termination was grossly negligent and breached the duty to mitigate loss, so the claim failed.
Extracted reasoning
The employee had long-standing wage arrears, knew of the employer's precarious situation, and was required to pursue her claim promptly and consistently. Ex ante, further delay was not justified.
