Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Termination of Employment Convention, 1982 (No. 158) - France (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report for the period ending in September 2011. The Government indicates that the labour legislation has remained unchanged since its previous report in 2008 and mentions the most significant case law of the Court of Cassation relating to the matters covered by the Convention (Judgment No. 856 of 14 April 2010 indicating that reinstatement of a worker whose employment has been terminated without real and serious justification cannot be imposed on the parties if one of the parties oppose reinstatement). The Committee invites the Government to continue providing relevant information on the application of the Convention. It also invites the Government to include information on the activities of the appeal bodies, including the labour courts, and also on the number of terminations on economic or similar grounds (Part V of the report form).
