Continuation of Work After Fixed-Term Contract Expiry Implies Indefinite-Term Employment
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn individual, having been employed under a fixed-term contract which had expired, continued to work for the same employer, leading to the question of whether this constituted a tacit renewal of the initial fixed-term contract or the formation of an indefinite-term contract; the court held that the continued performance of the work after the expiration of the fixed term, absent any express agreement to the contrary, implied the establishment of an indefinite-term contract, making the termination by the employer subject to the rules governing such contracts, thus rejecting the appeal which sought to enforce the terms of the expired fixed-term arrangement.
