Déconfinement et santé au travail : la responsabilité de l’employeur en question

2023-04-17T15:57:12+02:00May 6th, 2020|

En date du 15 avril 2020, le Conseil de gouvernement a mis en place les lignes directrices d’une stratégie de déconfinement équilibrée entre les impératifs de la santé publique et les aspects psychosociaux liés au confinement actuel. Au Grand-Duché, le taux des nouvelles infections présente une tendance vers la baisse et reflète l’effet recherché par les mesures de confinement mise en place en date du 16 mars 2020. Le Gouvernement a décidé de procéder à une levée prudente des mesures de confinement, notamment en mettant en œuvre une sortie progressive du confinement par phases suffisamment espacées les unes des autres et en mettant en place des mesures de prévention au travail.

Legal briefing – The impact of Covid-19 on contracts (25/03/2020)

2020-03-26T18:27:17+01:00March 26th, 2020|

Issues arising in contractual matters Due to the health and economic crises caused by the Covid-19 virus, which affect a major part of the world, contractual relations will be put to the test. Indeed, this unprecedented health crisis will have significant consequences on the contractual obligations of many economic players, leading to multiple consequences, namely: delays, interruptions, renegotiations and even contractual cancellations. At the heart of these considerations is the notion of force majeure (or Act of God in the Common Law system), which we will deal with, in this article. The essential question that arises in the present circumstances is whether, as a result of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, the economic actors affected by the consequences of this virus could invoke the force majeure in order to withdraw from their obligations or to suspend its effects, either temporarily or definitively.

Legal briefing – The impact of Covid-19 on investment funds (21/03/2020)

2020-03-22T18:01:11+01:00March 22nd, 2020|

The situation created by Covid-19 The health crisis linked to the spread of Covid-19 and the restrictive measures taken by public authorities to stop the spread of this virus are having a violent impact on all sectors of society. Brucher Thieltgen & Partners gives you forthwith some answers to urgent questions that arise in various sectors of the economy. Questions that arise in relation to investment funds The financial markets, which are known both for their volatility and for being conducive to panic movements uncorrelated to the actual financial health of listed assets, have been plummeting in recent weeks. Open-ended investment funds are generally obliged (whether daily, monthly or at more extended intervals) to redeem the units of their investors who so request. To this end, the funds calculate their net asset value and, if necessary, sell assets in order to meet redemption requests. The crisis in the financial markets is jeopardizing the liquidity of these funds at a time when, on the one hand, the assets to be sold have lost value and, on the other hand, redemption requests from anxious investors are increasing. In the long term, the funds run the risk of customer claims against the CSSF and, for the unluckiest of them, of being liquidated by the courts.
