Services may only be engaged for a specific time, or for a specific undertaking.
A hire of service, made without determination of duration, may always be terminated by the will of one of the contracting parties.
Nevertheless, termination of the contract by the will of only one of the contracting parties may give rise to damages.
In fixing the compensation to be awarded, where appropriate, account shall be taken of custom, the nature of the services engaged, the time elapsed, deductions made and payments made towards a retirement pension, and, in general, of all circumstances which may justify the existence and determine the extent of the loss caused.
The parties may not waive in advance any right to claim damages under the above provisions.
Disputes to which the application of the preceding paragraphs may give rise, when brought before the civil courts and the courts of appeal, shall be heard as summary proceedings and tried as a matter of urgency.
