Unemployment Insurance Allowance Calculation Dispute Following Factory Closure

The applicant challenged a decision from the unemployment insurance fund regarding the calculation of their daily allowance following a work stoppage due to a factory closure, arguing that the prior earnings used for calculation should reflect a higher period-average wage. The court reasoned that since the factory closure was definitive and the applicant was already receiving an anticipated benefit based on the lower reference period before the actual cessation of employment, the calculation method was legally sound; the applicant's subsequent employment in a different capacity with lower wages after the closure did not retroactively invalidate the original, correctly applied calculation based on the period immediately preceding the insured event.
