RA Court of Appeal decision creates precedent for employers' lawlessness
Armenian Court of Appeal has rejected suits issued by four teachers of Sayat Nova music school who protested against the decision of the school director to unilaterally change the terms of labor contracts.

According to lawyer Aram Karakhanyan, the verdict creates a dangerous precedent and allows employers' lawlessness.

For her part lawyer Mariam Ghuklyan said that the Court of Appeal has neglected the decision of Court of Cassations, which said that express contract may be concluded only if the job is temporary or short-term.
