Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant was entitled to unemployment benefits despite holding an employer-like position in Y. SA until her deregistration from the commercial register.
Decisão extraída
No. As long as she remained a formally registered sole administrator and had not severed all links with the company, she belonged to the group excluded from benefits under unemployment insurance case law and Art. 31(3)(c) AVIG.
Fundamentação extraída
A person who can still decisively influence the employer is treated similarly to an employer. For board members, commercial register registration is generally the decisive boundary. The file did not show an earlier effective resignation; the lower courts could therefore rely on the deregistration date and deny benefits before 28 October 2005.
