Abstract

The aim of this short overview is to outline the most important as well as relevant decisions of the judicial  forums covering the last five years for each Member State,  in alphabetical order. The author’s focus has been on issues arising in the field of equal treatment in the field of labour,  which have covered outstanding labour law-related disputes in a given Member State, in particular the  prohibition of discrimination. The author does not intend to classify and systematise the presented decisions, nor does  it intend to draw any legal or socio-political conclusions  from them, or to make a comparative analysis of them, due  to the limits of the current study. The aim of the study is  basically a short, flash-like description and listing of legal  cases in the EU member states, and the specific cases can  serve as a set of references for Hungary and Hungarian  lawyers for a deeper understanding of the wider EU and  human rights jurisprudence in order to provide a quick  overview of labour law disputes in an EU Member State.
