TGS Baltic has successfully defended interests of a group of employees against Ryanair in the court of first instance

01.04.2022 TGS Baltic has successfully defended interests of a group of employees against Ryanair in the court of first instance

10 former employees of Ryanair were unlawfully dismissed. The employer, in the course of transfer of a part of the business, did not offer the employees the same employment conditions with the new employer (the business assignee), but decided to dismiss employees due to excessive work functions. Employees, as flight attendants, were not given extended annual leave while working for Ryanair, either.

TGS Baltic team successfully defended the employees’ interests – the court of first instance awarded over EUR 602,000 to the employees and stated that the employees had been dismissed unlawfully, they had not been given extended annual leave they were entitled to.

The case that took almost 2 years was exceptional as it covered aspects of interpretation of law in jurisdictions of even 4 countries – Lithuania, Poland, Ireland, United Kingdom, and the issue of admissibility of the employees’ statement of claim was examined in a regional court.

The employees’ interests in the case were represented by Partner Ieva Povilaitienė and Associate Indrė Mažeikaitė.
