Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant met the minimum contribution period for unemployment benefits or qualified for an exemption.
Solution extraite
He had only 11 months of contributory employment in the relevant reference period, so the minimum contribution period was not met and no exemption ground applied.
Motifs extraits
The cantonal court correctly assessed the evidence and law; the claimant's later job search efforts did not change the lack of a 12-month contribution period or create an exemption under the statute.
