Abstract

This chapter aims at applying the new understanding of legal risks to the field of European Union (EU) social law. Understanding “Legal Risks in EU Law” implies to turn upside down the usual legal perspective on a given field of law. Instead of taking a given legal object and describing it, this is a new scientific and practical approach on EU law based on a prospective analysis, which can lead to a rationalised law-making process for the EU institutions and its partners. In other words, legal risk management may be introduced through two approaches: Social risks may be solved by the law, but the law itself may create legal risks. This approach calls for a study of the context and the actors: On the one hand, it is the multiplication of legal orders which leads to legal risks in the field of EU social law (1). On the other hand, it is the actors’ choices and first of all the choice of the judge of Luxembourg (2).

Ruling again on 7 July 2011, the Tribunal d’instance de Marseille upheld these arguments and did not apply Article L. 1111-3 of the Labour Code on the ground that it did not comply with European Union Law. The tribunal thus declared the appointment of Mr Laboubi as trade union section representative to be valid, after finding that, without the exclusions established by Article L. 1111-3 of the Labour Code, the staff numbers of the association in question would be far above the threshold of 50 employees. The AMS brought an appeal before the Cour de cassation against that judgment.
