2010/80: Supreme Court disapplies statutory mandatory retirement (at age 60) provisions (FR)
In May 2010, the French Supreme Court ruled in favour of strict judicial control of compulsory retirement provisions, holding that national provisions of law are to be disapplied if differential treatment on grounds of age is not demonstrably justified by a legitimate aim and the means of achieving that aim are not appropriate and necessary.
