Labor dispute

Vasil Kisil & Partners successfully represented Roche Ukraine, a subsidiary of the world known Swiss manufacturer of pharmaceutical products in a labor dispute with its former employee regarding essential conditions of work.

The employee appealed his dismissal to a court and sought to be reinstated in the job and to recover from the company his average salary for the period of involuntary idle time and a considerable amount of moral damages.

Recently, the High Specialized Court of Ukraine for Civil and Criminal Matters upheld the judgments of the first instance court and the court of appeals and dismissed the former employee’s claims in their entirety.
