Supreme Court allows unemployment period calculation despite missing three-year deadline due to lack of evidence gathering.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the appellate court's decision, remanding the case for a retrial. The applicant argued that his unemployment period should be counted due to political repression, but the lower courts failed to gather sufficient evidence to prove he could not find work. The court ruled that the three-year deadline for proving unemployment is not a bar if the cause is demonstrated through all available means, and that the first-instance court violated procedural duties by not conducting a proper evidentiary hearing.
