Question juridique clé
Whether the Geneva labor court had material jurisdiction over the dispute
Solution extraite
No. The employee was treated as a foreign-state official under foreign public law, so the labor court lacked jurisdiction under cantonal rules that exclude public-law employment disputes.
Motifs extraits
The factual indicators, including appointment by resolution of the foreign ministry, service passport, and termination documents referring to public service status, supported a public-law relationship with the foreign state rather than a private-law employment contract.
