X v. Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, judgment 491/1991

Author(ity)

Court of Appeals of Crete

Date of the decision, of the judgment

01/01/1991

Points of law

Greek Courts are entitled to adjudicate on disputes between private persons and international organizations arising out of labour contracts.

Summary of the case

In cases of labour contracts between a private person and an international organisation, Greek Courts are entitled to adjudicate on disputes arising out of acts in which the international organisation acted as fiscus and not as imperium. Consequently, Greek Courts have jurisdiction to judge on lawsuits arising out of these contracts against the organisation.
