Pilot injuries meant that he could no longer perform their normal work. He fell on the ice and hurt his knees
Asker and Bærum District Court in a recent judgment concluded that the pilot nevertheless been offered other work within the company, and that this responsibility both lay on the parent company Norwegian Air Shuttle and subsidiary Norwegian Air Norway.
Pilot Strike
Attorney Christen Horn Johannessen in the pilot’s union Parat says that the question of which company actually has employer responsibility, the same as was discussed during pilot strike in English earlier this year.
– The court has decided whether Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (NAS) still have employer responsibility for the pilots was transferred to the subsidiary Norwegian Air Norway (NAN). The conclusion is that NAS exert real functions as an employer and must therefore be considered as an employer on an equal footing with NAN, said Horn Johannessen.
Supreme
Asker and Bærum District Court shows in judgment to a judgment Supreme Court from 1990 stating that the Working Environment Act does not preclude that more businesses can have employer liability to the same worker in the same working conditions.
– The judgment has as a result of joint employer liability also concluded that both companies are obliged facilitating and consider relocating to other work in the business, and those in this case has failed, says Horn Johannessen.
In addition to compensation of 530,000 dollars to the pilot, the Norwegian also imposed legal costs of 127,000 crowns.
