The worker’s submission of an application to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour is the sole procedure for instituting a labour action. If the dispute is referred to the court to assess the amicable settlement, this application is not considered a substitute for serving the statement of claim on the defendant. The reason for this.
Arabic original
تقديم العامل طلباً إلى وزارة الشئون الاجتماعية والعمل هو الاجراء الوحيد لرفع الدعوى العمالية. إذا أحيل النزاع إلى المحكمة لتقدير التسوية الودية فإن هذا الطلب لا يعتبر بديلاً عن إعلان المدعى عليه بصحيفة الدعوى. علة ذلك.
