do you somehow genuinely think that people shouldn't be allowed to quit their job? what century are you from? do you somehow genuinely think that people should just sign a _legal contract_ and be allowed to just say "fuck it I don't need to do it lolololol" what century are you from? stephano did not sign a legal contract. he signed something a jumped-up american idiot thought would bind him under Texas law. doesn't work that way, and no french court would extradite him for it.

That's amazing =) that's how the law works, yes. should courts go by the "spirit of an agreement"? it's unworkable. in this case, we're not talking about minor loopholes either, but massive, fundamental problems. so by "massive fundamental problems" you mean "not in french"? K. - the contract wasn't in french - it attempted to subject the employee to a different country's labour laws - it had the form of a contract for fixed service provision, but the function of employment - it made no provision for specification or limitation of a probationary period, yet purported to apply from the date of witness we have been told all these things by compLexity representatives. any of them, alone, would be sufficient to void the document. You don't even understand basic contract law(as proven when calling work length agreements 'barbaric') so stop talking about this like you know anything at all. The fact is that an ACTUAL LAWYER is not exactly sure how this will unfold, so quit acting like you are. workers' rights supersede contract law - at least, everywhere other than the USA. contracts exist only as allowed BY law, and a nation's rules for employment, as democratically enacted, limit what is possible in a contract. i'm entirely in my right to call it barbaric to allow people to sign away years of their lives with no recourse. i don't believe that even america really allows that - you're just ignorant enough to think it does.
Its been said MANY times by the source itself (CoL) that this was not an employment contract but a contractor's contract under Texas law and yet all you bable about are french employment contract laws. You're comparing apples to oranges to push your flawed view. And don't even get me started if you honestly think french employment contracts are the only way an organization/person can obtain the services of another organization/person. Stop pushing bullshit.

Some people says that the american aren't aware of the world outside of USA, but what about France ? That's seriously selfish from Millenium, they are killing Stephano's carreer, one year in SC2 is a LOT That is just unfair, you obviously do know nothing about both team audience reach and fan base development. Neither do you. Actually I do but just to dismiss your first statement with minimum effort: Complexity 22k FB likes, Millenium 18k. Millenium having a real content production and distribution strategy with avg. 3k viewer on THEIR own webtv (growing at >20% per monthlast 12 month). Col. content distribution strategy? See here: http://www.complexitygaming.com/streams/Obviously killing stephanos carrer... right And yet what does Mill ever do outside of France? And Complexity? You mean that partnership they have with team MVP where Stephano could train in a Korean pro house with zergs like DRG? The dude from Mill even said that they have no plans to send Stephano to more international stuff than now, which means none at all.

US law isnt disregarded in the case. You fail to see this. You cannot argue political views in a legal system which makes it painfully obvious you are no lawyer.

If Stephano signed a contract that is lawful in the U.S. then he's boned. None of the protections Millenium is claiming would apply if they are unique to France.
I expect Complexity to file suit in the U.S. and whatever judgment will be upheld by the international courts in a cursory fashion. Millenium is seriously boned if they re-signed Stephano after he signed a contract with Complexity. The courts could award Complexity incredible damages.

Stephano is 18? He is going to med school soon? Really? Why not? Going to university at 18 seems pretty normal to me I was gonna say, I'm at university right now and I'm 17, studying at uni at 18 isn't out of the norm at all.. Med School at 18 isn't the norm. in france, medical school begins at an undergraduate level. this is also true in australia, and many other places. there's a common theme in this thread: people assuming that the way things work in their country is the way they do, and should, work everywhere else. 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. Wrong, you can decide to leave whenever you want. 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.
The preavis period isn't 3 month if you just started the contract dude .

I assume they'll try and get the fee from Mill considering Stephano appears to want to stay with them. No reason to make a player compete for you when he doesn't want to. Someone in the Stephano/Mill camp is kicking themselves right now one way or the other. It'll be interesting to see what sort of additional statements they release.

So contracts have to be in French? Stop posting. You're shilling for Millenium pretty obviously and you have no clue what you're talking about. If Stephano signed a lawful contract with the U.S. a French court could presume that he submitted to the contract laws of that employer's nation. A U.S. contract does not have to uphold to French contract law. under french law, contracts employing french citizens do in fact have to be in french. i don't know why you think this is strange.
You know these types of contracts happen between French citizens and international businesses ALL THE TIME, right?
|
Lol. I love all of the blatant prejudice coming from both sides of the argument. Gulbanana, I don't know too much about either side of the argument to be honest, but it really does sound like you're being too quick to assume Stephano will get off of the chain with no repercussions. While it may not have been made completely in French terms, do you think the French court would really completely disrespect the legal proceedings of another country like that?

I'm a fake lawyer too and in my grand official legal opinion that France is the true victim here. A French citizen was swindled into a contract by a fat, arrogant, racist American and forced to toil for the rest of his life playing in american starcraft tournaments. Luckily French superstar lawyer and NBA point guard Tony Parker was able to rescue our boy hero and win the Olympic Gold medal game from the dirty Americans and bring justice to the universe.

It does exist, but it's a little tricky. People have to declare themselve as auto-entrepreneur (self-company) or simply found a company with only them in it and then they can sell themselves as contractors. It happens a lot in computer engineering.

you forgot now people don't care about contracts because they can just "change their mind" do you somehow genuinely think that people shouldn't be allowed to quit their job? what century are you from? do you somehow genuinely think that people should just sign a _legal contract_ and be allowed to just say "fuck it I don't need to do it lolololol" what century are you from? stephano did not sign a legal contract. he signed something a jumped-up american idiot thought would bind him under Texas law. doesn't work that way, and no french court would extradite him for it. So a legally binding contract is not a legal contract ? Shit, world doesn't make sense anymore. Hate will prevail as usual. it wasn't a legally binding contract. there's more to making a contract legally binding than a piece of paper, some words, and a signature. those words must have valid form, and legitimate function. If it has the signature of the person who agrees to it then it is legally binding, what do you not understand? that's false. contracts are legal documents in which two or more parties agree to exchange goods or perform services; that's all. they can only promise certain things, and can only operate in certain ways. if you just write some words on a piece of paper and sign it, that's no guarantee it will have any legal meaning.

You need to separate the facts, as given by Lwl (i.e. focus on working on professionalization of the French scene, notably with the training house in Marseille, and how he doesn't plan on doing anything related to Korea, because of, quote, the lack of visibility of foreigners in Korea) from the long-term views he expressed (the global project you mention).

Yeah I've already make a post about the trial period (preavis of 1 day per week + 1 week per month). But it wasn't relevant to the point I was answering, which was you can break your contract (CDI) whenever you want but you have to wait before leaving the company.
