ESADE, ICADE and the Cuatrecasas Institute present the Labour Relations Forum in Madrid
The opening session of the Labour Relations Forum – an initiative of ESADE, ICADE and the Cuatrecasas International Institute for Legal Strategy on Human Resources – took place yesterday in Madrid. The forum will meet in Spain’s capital on a monthly basis starting in January.
Salvador del Rey, Professor of Labour Law and Social Security at ESADE Law School and President of the Cuatrecasas International Institute, is the Director of the Labour Relations Forum. During his remarks at the opening session, Prof. del Rey observed: “Our goal is to provide a venue where businesspeople, judges, lawyers and labour administration professionals can analyse, debate and reflect on the application of labour laws within our labour relations system.
The Labour Relations Forum will meet on a monthly basis. Its sessions will feature talks by judges from the Spanish Supreme Court (Ángel Blasco), the Spanish National Superior Court (Ricardo Bodas) and the High Court of Justice of Madrid (Rosario García). These speakers will analyse decisions of interest that have recently been handed down by their respective institutions.
The opening session of the Labour Relations Forum featured an inaugural address by Francisco Pérez de los Cobos, president of the Spanish Constitutional Court, entitled “Evolution of the Doctrine of the Constitutional Court on Labour and Social Security over the Past Three Years.
In addition to Salvador del Rey and Francisco Pérez de los Cobos, the session featured the participation of Enrique Verdeguer, Director of ESADE Madrid, and Íñigo Navarro, Dean of the Faculty of Law at ICADE, who expressed satisfaction at the chance to participate in an initiative that will analyse the jurisprudential implications of relevant changes recently made in the labour relations framework.
