Objectives
Objectives
Given the foundational notions of Labour Law and Civil Procedure carried over from the 1st study cycle by students, the main objective of this course unit is to convey specific knowledge of Procedural Labour Law, while drawing attention to the protection of relevant legal goods and to the characteristics that shape individual and collective labour relation - all with the purpose of providing the students with methodological tools that help them carry out scientific research in a critical, consistent, and autonomous way.
