Occupational injuries scheme not inconsistent with European Convention on Human Rights - Saumier v France
Journal of Social Security
(2017)
Abstract
In a recent ruling, the European Court of Human Rights rejected a challenge to the French scheme of benefits for accidents at work and occupational illness (which forms part of the code de la sécurité sociale) and held that the provisions of the law were not inconsistent with Article 14 of the ECHR. The Court was, it is argued, clearly correct as to the outcome and, as is not unusual, clearly wrong as to its approach to the analysis of the legal position.
