Hazardous mixtures and health emergency, are you ready for the January 1, 2021 deadline?
Laure Marolleau, Esq.
Companies placing hazardous mixtures on the market have to submit information about these mixtures to specific bodies appointed by European Union Member States. Poison centers use this information to give medical advice in case of an emergency.
The notification requirement, based on Annex VIII to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation, applies from 1 January 2021.

The impact of COVID-19 on commercial lease agreements
Catherine Nommick, Esq.
The closure of many companies since the first lockdown in March 2020 and the resulting economic slowdown have caused high tensions between lessors and lessees of commercial premises. Some tensions escalated to disputes, some of which have already been brought before French courts. Law No. 2020-1379 of November 14, 2020 authorizing the extension of the state of health emergency and introducing various measures to manage the health crisis (the “Law”) has supplemented the measures taken as early as in March 2020 by the French Government concerning the performance of commercial leases agreements.
The adoption of the Law provides the opportunity to address the issue of commercial leases in the context of the health emergency measures that have been taken, as well as the options currently available to lessees and lessors to overcome this unprecedented crisis.

Co-employment within corporate groups: A new definition for an exceptional situation
Palesa Hove, Esq.
In a ruling issued on November 25, 2020, the Cour de Cassation (French Supreme Court) reaffirmed the exceptional nature of co-employment by giving a new definition of its constituent elements.
This more restrictive definition, which reinforces the exceptional nature of the situation of co-employment, should have a deterrent effect on employees wishing to rely on this concept in court.
