Submission of an application to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour. It is the legal means by which the court becomes seised of a labour action and by which the judicial claim begins. Its implication. Extinction of the action and invalidity of the judgment rendered therein. Its effect: extinction of the application preceding it because of their legal connection. That application may not be relied upon to bring a subsequent action directly seeking the same relief. Contravention of this. Its effect: inadmissibility of the action for being brought otherwise than by the legal route. Example.
