Chancellor of Justice: financial limits for labor disputes not prohibitive

13.05.2007

Chancellor of Justice Allar Jõks gave his opinion regarding a statutory limitation that labor dispute claims upwards from EEK 50,000 must be submitted to a court of first instance instead of a labor dispute committee. Although admitting that the obligation to pay a state fee when submitting an action to the court is somewhat restrictive, Jõks argued that such restrictions are not prohibitive and are justified for such significant claims. Furthermore, Jõks stressed that the higher the claims, the more important it is to give the plaintiff sufficient legal protection which courts are more qualified to do than labor dispute committees.
