Question juridique clé
Whether the repayment waiver of unlawfully received short-time work and bad-weather compensation had to be granted because the company acted in good faith.
Solution extraite
No. The company could not rely on good faith because, with minimum diligence, it should have recognized that its wage and work-time records and statements were insufficient and unreliable as a basis for entitlement.
Motifs extraits
Any alleged misinformation by the labour office did not create a protected reliance interest. The decisive point was the lack of a reliable working-time control and the obvious implausibility of the data submitted with the benefit claims. Good faith was therefore absent.
