Supreme Court allows union withdrawal of authorization for non-union lawyer representing employee under labor law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a trade union could revoke a lawyer's authorization to represent an employee. The employee had authorized a non-union lawyer to act as a union representative, but the union later withdrew this specific authorization. The court held that such withdrawal was valid because the authorization under Article 465 § 1 of the Code of Civil Procedure required both the union's permission and the employee's consent, and the loss of union permission invalidated the representation.
