Background

An employee filed a case against a company and requested the court to order the company to pay him 28124.95 Egyptian Pounds for his holidays and compensation of 10000 Egyptian Pounds.

The court ruled that the company should pay the employee 28124.95 Egyptian Pounds and rejected other requests.

The company appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The company appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and stated in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law because Article 9 of Egypt Law No. 20/1976 stipulated that the employee had the right to claim his holidays to a maximum of 120 days. The company stated the court had applied Egypt Law No. 48/1978 over the case and so it had erred in the application of law.
