Schlecker (trading as Firma Anton Schlecker) v Boedeker C-64/12 [2013] All ER (D) 23 (Oct); NLJ 11 October

Article 6(2) of the Rome Convention had to be interpreted as meaning that, even where an employee carried out the work in performance of the contract habitually, for a lengthy period and without interruption in the same country, the national court might, under the concluding part of that provision, disregard the law of the country where the work was habitually carried out, if it appeared from the circumstances as a whole that the contract was more closely connected with another country.
