Representing a disinfectant manufacturer in a dispute with a health authority regarding the suspension of operations and extensive reconstruction
The ARROWS law firm provides legal representation to a client engaged in the manufacture of disinfectants who is facing a major dispute with the regional health authority.
In its conclusion, the supervisory authority stated that there was a serious risk of harmful effects on the health of employees and called on the client to completely reconstruct its operations. Such an intervention would mean a drastic suspension of production, loss of revenue, and the need for high investments financed by loans—a step with potentially devastating consequences.
Our firm's goal is to stop the disproportionate intervention of the state authority and ensure that our client can continue its business with an emphasis on occupational safety and operational sustainability. The case is of fundamental importance not only for the client itself, but also in terms of the general interpretation of employers' obligations in the field of occupational health and safety.
Legal services in this matter are provided by a team led by Mgr. Jakub Oliva, LL.M., MSc., a specialist in labor law and the protection of employers during inspections by public authorities. Mgr. Bc. Kryštof Pažourek, who focuses on labor relations and representing clients in disputes, is also working on the case.
The case is an excellent example of interdisciplinary professional cooperation aimed at protecting the client from unreasonable sanctions and defending the legitimacy of its business activities.
