Key legal question
Whether the claimant was entitled to unemployment benefits despite her spouse's continuing employer-like position in successor businesses.
Extracted holding
No. The spouse retained employer-like control and could at any time re-employ the claimant, so the exclusion from benefits remained applicable.
Extracted reasoning
The business was continued without meaningful interruption under different legal forms, with the same contact details and similar purpose. This maintained the risk of abuse underlying the case law analogically applying Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG to unemployment insurance.
