Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: YH

Defendant: S.E.L.A.S. GTC Dijon (Greffe du Tribunal de Commerce de Dijon)

Operative part of the order

Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time and Article 31(2) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union

must be interpreted as meaning that the entitlement to paid annual leave acquired in respect of a reference period cannot be lost or reduced, on the expiry of that period, where the worker concerned has, during that period, been on non-work-related sick leave with no restrictions as to the outings and activities of that worker, unless there are specific circumstances which could justify a derogation from the fundamental right to an annual period of paid leave.
