KCC 225/2009/1

This case involved a request by an employee for their dues. The employment contract had an indefinite period so both parties could terminate the contract by giving two months' notice.

Background

An employee made a complaint against a company and requested the Labour Department to order the company to pay his dues. The department referred the case to the court.

The court ruled the company should pay the employee 3858.983 Dinars.

The employee and 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 and the employment contract had an indefinite period so each party had the right to terminate it after giving a notice-period of two months.

The court stated this argument was valid because the employment contract had an indefinite period so each party had the right to terminate it after giving notice-period of two months.

The court repealed the ruling.
