There is already plenty of precedence about jurisdiction of contract law internationally.

Hopefully we can build some precedence so that this does not occur. As best as I can tell, it all comes down to where the contract was made. If it was made in France then their law will apply, which, if the thread is to be believed, has some sort of grace period where you can back out. Determining where it was made would be a matter of HOW it was made. There is precedence set for verbal, by phone, by fax, by mail, by telegram, by email... pretty much by any sort of communication. I can't remember at the moment, but if it is by email I BELIEVE the contract is made once the offeree (Stephano) sends the email, which would mean the contract is made where he sends it, IE France. I could be wrong on that, I'd have to review my contract law. I'm curious how the contract was made now. That, to me, is the key to this. It has been stated that the contract is endorsed in Texas, USA I believe. | ||

Well you don't know jack about France apparently. What you're saying about how you can quit your job at any time baffles me. You have to come to an agreement with your company otherwise it's legal for them to sue you so stop posting really because you're making a fool out of yourself. Not to mention that you keep speaking of the contract but I'm quite sure you didn't see it and if you did I have to agree with the guy saying you're from Mil. And even if you are you don't know anything about international law and that's a shame. | ||

Something like this would never happen in real sports (in the US sports scene, Rich Rodriguez and Billy Donovan are examples where - due to breach of contract - reparations had to be paid from one entity to another), and has no place in eSports either. We need to grow up and not allow this behavior to happen; it de-ligitimizes eSports as a whole. I don't know what should happen, but the community definitely needs to unite to stand against actions like this. Either Stephano needs to honor the contract he signed or Millennium needs to buy his contract from compLexity. | ||

Too bad hes working for a US corporation and signed what will be a US contract, therefore he can be found liable for a breech of contract in the US, can they make it apply in France? Maybe maybe not, but it can happen here. | ||

Complexity have nothing to be ashamed of and they are definitely not the ones looking ridiculous here. | ||

If you actually read this thread or the statements by coL you would have seen that they said they weren't going to force him to play for a team he didn't want to play on. | ||

He is subject to US law, the origin of his employement and contract, and thats all that matters. Dont make this political keep it legal. But seeing as you fail to understand legal laws that seems impossible. that's garbage. employment law, by long standing practice and precedent in all wealthy nations, is applied according to the laws of the host nation, not the originating nation of the employer. you're stating what you hope or guess to be true as fact. | ||

You realize the guy he signed the contract with is a practicing lawyer, yes? | ||

You have to wait until the period of "préavis" is finished (3 months at most). Your employer cannot prevent you to leave, he can just ask you to do those 3 months entirely or pay you more if you need to stay one more months to finish a job for instance. | ||
