EU Law Discussion Group
The Court of Justice as a Labour Court
Speaker: Professor Anne Davies, University of Oxford
Venue: Institute of European and Comparative Law The Cube with lunch from 1230 in the IECL Foyer
Many legal systems have specialist labour courts with jurisdiction over individual employment disputes or collective labour disputes or both. The literature identifies a number of possible justifications for the use of specialist labour courts. The paper will engage in a critical examination of this literature in order to develop a framework for analysing the performance of courts (whether specialist or otherwise) in deciding labour law cases. I will then apply that framework to some of the recent case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
