Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant was entitled to insolvency compensation for unpaid wages from October to December 2005 against the former employer.
Decisione estratta
The claim was not enforceable because the appellant breached her duty to mitigate damage by waiting too long before pursuing the former employer.
Motivazione estratta
Although the wage claim fell within the last four months of the employment relationship and a later transfer of business did not bar insolvency compensation, the worker knew of the employer's financial difficulties yet waited more than nine months before taking effective collection steps. This inactivity forfeited the right to benefits under Art. 55 al. 1 LACI.
