Ségolène Barbou des Places, Elea Collin

• The J.K. v TP S.A ruling is an important judgment, and not only because it led the Court to settle main questions of substantive law. In the context of adapting social law to new forms of employment relations, the Court first clarified the personal scope of Directive 2000/78/CE. Secondly, it addressed the relationship between non-discrimination and freedom of contract. Finally, in J.K. the Court underpinned its political conception of non-discrimination law. This Insight is an introduction to a Special Focus which aims to bring together contributions that highlight different aspects of this important judgment. As an introduction to the Special Focus, this Insight presents the case and its particular context: that of a “cultural battle”.
