Referring court
Tribunal Central Administraivo Norte
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicants: Joaquim Fernando Macedo Maia, António Pereira Teixeira, António Joaquim Moreira David, Joaquim Albino Moreira David
Defendant: Fundo de Garantia Salarial, IP
Operative part of the order
Council Directive 80/987/EEC of 20 October 1980 relating to the protection of employees in the event of the insolvency of their employer, as amended by Directive 2002/74/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 23 September 2002, must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation which does not guarantee salary claims falling due more than six months preceding the initiation of insolvency proceedings against the employer, even though the employees brought, before the beginning of that period, legal proceedings against their employer with a view to obtaining a judicial determination of the amount outstanding and an enforcement order to recover those sums.
