CAEI, a division of the Vicini Group, reports that Dominican Republic's Supreme Court of Justice has ruled in their favor.
The Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Dominican Republic ruled in favor of CAEI today following litigation brought against the company's Cristobal Colon sugar mill surrounding labor contracts. The decision, made by the highest court in the Dominican Republic, ratified the ruling of a lower court, the Labor Appeal Court in San Pedro de Macoris, noting that the appeal brought by plaintiffs was rejected because the argument was lacking in legal basis.
"The work is not that which is described in writing, but that which is in fact carried out." In making its ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the arguments contained in the Labor Court ruling that dismissed the case for lack of legal basis, distortion of the facts and violation of the basic principles of the country's Labor Code.
The Labor Code states that "the work is not that which is described in writing, but that which is in fact carried out." The ruling also stated that "any agreement to the contrary entered into by the parties with the object of simulating something other than the facts, constitutes fraud to the labor code, whether through the appearance of non-labor contractual norms, imposition of people or any other means."
CAEI is a division of the Vicini Group, the largest business conglomerate in the DR.
