The protection of workers' claims in the event of the insolvency of their employer : OHADA's approach
Résumé
An employer's insolvency has far-reaching consequences on workers. The consequence of business failures have complelled policy makers to provide for workers protection in the event of their employer's financial demise. The policy makers of the Organisation for the Harmonization of Busniess Law in Africa approach (OHADA) are not left out. This article seeks to examine OHADA's super-priority approach (article 95 of OHADA's Revised Insolvency Act - RIA) on the protection of workers claims with the aim of showing that approach is limited. Article 95 does not prescribe the limit on the amount protected, the time period and the category of workers concerned. This article ecognizes the need to reform article 95 of OHADA's RIA.In so doing, the article describe the position of two international bodies (International Labor Organisation -ILO) and the European Union -EU) on employee entitlements in insolvency as the bases needed to reform article 95 of OHADA's RIA. The value of this article lies in the nisights it offers into the current framework on insolvency and the opportuniy given to address the limitations that invariably arise from article 95 of OHADA's RIA.
