مدى تأثير الجوائح و الأوبئة على عقود العمل : دراسة تحليلية مقارنة بين القانون المصري و القانون الفرنسي مع التطبيق على جائحة فيروس كورونا (19Covid-)‎

Abstract EN

The spread of a pandemic or epidemic-such as a coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic-may have an economic negative impact on the employer, which may lead to thinking about terminating employment contracts associated with it, adjusting it by lowering the wages of some or all of its workers, or also suspend its implementation where the pandemic or epidemic is spreading.

this may constitute a conflict with the principle of the binding force of the contract, the principle that has settled in the Egyptian and French legislative conscience.

given this and in order to find a solution to this problem, it was necessary to investigate the legal nature of the pandemic or epidemic as a force majeure allowing the employer to fulfill his obligations, or as exceptional circumstances making the employer's implementation of his obligations exhausting.

on the other hand, both the Egyptian legislator and the French legislator have determined, in their labor legislations, the employer's right to terminate or amend the contract for economic reasons.
