Case No 2372 (Panama) - Complaint date: 21-JUL-04 - Closed

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 154. At its June 2007 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed regarding the amparo (protection of constitutional rights) appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice regarding the dismissal of the maritime sector trade union leader, Mr Luis Fruto [see 346th Report, para. 1270].
2. 155. In its communication dated 29 April 2008, the Government transmits the ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice stating that the amparo appeal lodged by the trade union leader Mr Luis Fruto is groundless as it is based on aspects which are purely legal and not constitutional.
3. 156. The Committee takes note of this information.
