Question juridique clé
Whether a former employer-like person retained an exclusion from unemployment benefits before bankruptcy despite financial collapse and inactivity of the company.
Solution extraite
The respondent remained in an employer-like position until the bankruptcy opening on 2012-02-07; entitlement to unemployment benefits exists only from that date, if all other conditions are met.
Motifs extraits
As a serving board member with statutory powers, he kept formal control and an employer-like influence until bankruptcy. Oversubscription, lack of assets, or inactivity did not remove that status; only bankruptcy ended the influence risk the case law seeks to prevent.
