Article L.1321-6 of the Labor Code provides that any document containing obligations for employees or provisions whose knowledge is necessary to perform work has to be written in French.

The Court of Appeal judged that the airline couldn’t invoke the exception provided for in Article L.1321-6 of the Labor Code on documents coming from a foreign country because it edited these documents.
