In the event of a lasting interruption in its operation or serious difficulties making it impossible to operate under normal conditions, the industrial tribunal may be dissolved by a decree stating the reasons.
In this case, new appointments must be made within a maximum period of four months from the date of publication of the dissolution decree. The duties of the members thus appointed end at the same time as those of the members of the other industrial tribunals.
Until the new industrial tribunal is installed, disputes are referred to the industrial tribunal closest to the claimant’s place of residence within the same jurisdiction of the court of appeal or, failing this, to the judicial court.
