Question juridique clé
Whether the appellant had an entitlement to unemployment benefits from 2017-11-17 despite his position in the GmbH.
Solution extraite
A person who retains an employer-like position and can still influence company decisions is in principle excluded from unemployment benefits; on the present record, that exclusion would apply.
Motifs extraits
The appellant remained sole shareholder and manager of the GmbH and said the business only paused during winter, so the activity was not definitively abandoned.
