More judges in the Labour Court
Discrimination - Equal Treatment Act
From 1 June 2012 the number of deputy judges in the Danish Labour Court will increase. Following its introduction in February, the Bill has now been adopted by the Danish Parliament.
Originally, the Bill was introduced after the two central organisations the Confederation of Danish Employers and the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions contacted the Minister for Employment to let her know that there were not enough judges at the Labour Court.
The Labour Court used to have 31 deputy judges, but with the amendment this number will be changed to at least 31 and no more than 41 deputy judges. This means that each of the five central organisations which are entitled to appoint deputy judges to the Labour Court may increase their number of deputy judges by two.
Norrbom Vinding notes:
- that the Bill is most likely a good measure towards speeding up average processing times; and
- that it will be exciting to see if the organisations will actually use their power to appoint more deputy judges.
