A company that manufactures and sells frozen pizzas throughout the year with only periodic increases in production does not have a seasonal activity within the meaning of Article L. 122-1-1 3° of the Labour Code. Consequently, the judgment which held that the use of seasonal contracts was justified must be quashed, when it appeared from its findings that the employee, alternately recruited on fixed-term contracts either seasonal or to cope with temporary increases in activity, worked in different periods depending on the year.
