The contested reclassification obligation

Élise Brand is the lawyer for ex-employees.She had assisted them in the procedure for the takeover of the AIM group slaughterhouse in 2015.Some 230 employees had thus escaped unemployment by investing part of their dismissal allowances in the company Nouvelle Aim Group.

The Employee Entrepreneurial Adventure stopped in 2018: after putting the company in receivership on April 3, the Rouen Commercial Court pronounced its liquidation on July 4, 2018.No less than 236 employees found themselves on the tile.

Faced with the four magistrates of the Prud'hommes Council, Élise Brand pleaded "the nullity of the layoffs", the job safeguard plan (PSE) having been "modified and not approved" by the administration after the layoffs intervened atfrom July 23, and non-compliance with the conventional external reclassification obligation.

And apart from this sector of activity, only one company was requested, "a tire assembly company with less than 50 employees 139 km from Sainte-Cécile".

What his advice disputes."We try to drown the fish" retorts Me Martinez.

The defense disputes the nullity of layoffs and argues the "incompetence" of the council on the obligation of reclassification: "We already have a final decision on the PSE and the search for reclassification.The Council of State dismissed the ex-employees on this point after the judgments rendered by the administrative court of Caen and the Nantes court of appeal.
