Convenio sobre la protección de los créditos laborales en caso de insolvencia del empleador, 1992 (núm. 173) - Zambia (Ratificación : 1998)

Part IV of the report form. Application in practice. While noting the Government’s difficulties in obtaining statistical data on the amounts paid to workers in application of the Preferential Claims in Bankruptcy Act, 1995 and the Companies Act, the Committee wishes to recall that legislative conformity alone is insufficient to constitute satisfactory compliance with the Convention unless the law is effectively enforced in practice. The Committee therefore trusts that the Government will make every effort to collect and transmit together with its next report up to date information concerning the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including for instance statistics on the number of bankruptcy proceedings, workers’ claims settled and sums paid, copies of important court decisions involving questions of principle relating to the application of the Convention, etc.
