Nacionalinės darbo ginčų jurisdikcijos problemos suvienytos Europos kontekste

Abstract

It may be no good for the employer to lodge a claim in a foreign country because of time and expenses, and in such case the balance between the plaintiff and the respondent is broken because the employee has the right to apply to court according to the place where the labour agreement is performed. The agreement regarding jurisdiction between the parties is limited. The parties can agree only if the agreement is made after the dispute arises or if it provides more possibilities for the employee. These provisions are necessary to protect the employee and to ensure that when signing an employment agreement no unfriendly provision about jurisdiction is included. Such privileges are granted to employees in striving to protect them because they are considered to be the weaker party of the agreement with less financial resources to litigate abroad.
