Expanding Cambodian Labor Law Through Jurisprudence

Abstract

This review summarizes two critical issues in the jurisprudence of labor law which have long been subject of recurring conflicts. It begins with recent cases on contract suspensions triggered by the so-called economic hardship. Then it discusses subordination issue. Drawing on jurisprudential implications from suspension and subordination cases, and if comparative law can be of any guide, I conclude that Cambodia labor law will keep on expanding through interpretations.

Keywords: Suspension, Subordination, Jurisprudence.
