Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant limited liability companies could invoke the family-enterprise exception in Art. 4 LTr to employ staff on Sundays and public holidays.
Decisione estratta
No. A limited liability company cannot qualify as a family enterprise within the meaning of Art. 4 LTr, so the exception does not apply.
Motivazione estratta
The Court relied on its contemporaneous case law interpreting the family-enterprise concept by the family link exhaustively listed in Art. 4(1) LTr between the employer and the worker. That concept does not extend to corporations whose responsible employer is a company, including a GmbH.
