Question juridique clé
Whether the claimant qualified as a worker entitled to first-class bankruptcy ranking under Art. 219(4)(a) LP despite being registered as a manager.
Solution extraite
No. The claimant's effective position was that of a corporate organ, not a subordinated worker, so the wage claim was not privileged in first class.
Motifs extraits
First-class privilege protects economically and personally dependent workers. The decisive criterion is effective subordination, but this is excluded where the person has organ status. Internal limits on managerial powers and collective signature do not change the person’s organ quality vis-à-vis the bankruptcy estate.
