Question juridique clé
Whether the appellants were entitled to insolvency compensation under unemployment insurance law.
Solution extraite
No. Their claim failed because they did not continuously and diligently pursue the wage claims and therefore breached the duty to mitigate.
Motifs extraits
The Court held that merely sending reminders and starting enforcement proceedings was insufficient. After knowing that forced collection and, if necessary, court steps were required, the appellants let long periods of inactivity pass. This amounted at least to gross negligence.
