Course contents :
|
| This course is not organised during even years (2014-2015). This course is dedicated to the aspects of Belgian law regarding work and employment contracts ; after a general overview of the sources of employment law, focus will be on the termination of work contracts.
A large part of the course will be devoted to the termination by one party (either dismissal or retirement), which constitutes the major mode of terminating a work contract. After having examined termination based on advance warning and immediate termination for serious reasons, various systems of establishing special protection against dismissal will be brought under scrutiny. Other points of interests of the course encompass: the application of employment law concerning general ways of terminating obligations such as expiry of contract, mutual agreement, resolutory conditions, force majeure, etc.
Certain issues related to the shutting down of businesses and mass redundancy will also be examined. |
