Case No 1965 (Panama) - Complaint date: 19-MAY-98 - Closed

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 110. At its March 2003 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to communicate the final judicial ruling on the dismissals of Darío Ulate, Porfirio Beitia and Julio Trejos [see 330th Report, para. 137]. (According to the allegations, the Aribesa company, where these workers worked, went into liquidation and the dismissals took place in violation of the collective agreement.)
2. 111. In its communication of 30 October 2003, the Government states that Porfirio Beitia did not appeal against the judicial ruling that declared the proceedings a nonsuit and ordered the file to be archived as the proceedings had come to an end. With regard to Darío Ulate and Julio Trejos, the domicile of the defendant that was indicated in their judicial complaints has not been found and neither have they requested that the defendant be summoned. The legal authorities have set a date for a hearing for both cases.
3. 112. The Committee notes this information and requests the Government to send it a copy of the decisions handed down on the dismissal of Darío Ulate and Julio Trejos.
