The Supreme Court of Slovenia suspended the labor dispute proceedings to request a preliminary ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union regarding Directive 2003/88/EC. The court identified that the definition of 'hours of constant readiness' under the Directive required clarification before adjudicating the plaintiff's claim. Consequently, the proceedings were halted pending the CJEU's decision to ensure correct application of EU law.
