This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The seasonal contract is distinguished from the fixed-term contract for customary use in that it concerns tasks normally expected to recur each year at more or less fixed dates, depending on the rhythm of the seasons or collective lifestyles. The judgment is legally justified which found, on the one hand, that the employer was a road transport company whose activity was carried on throughout the year, and, on the other hand, that it was not established that the quarries referred to in the employment contracts had a seasonal activity, the fact that public works sites are subject to climatic conditions being insufficient to demonstrate that the job of quarry driver would be a seasonal task.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
