The case concerned the interpretation of a tariff regulation. The question before the Labour Court was to regard the tariff regulation that said that an “employee must have a continuous free time of at least 35 hours once a week, so that an entire calendar day is always included. This free time should preferably be given on Sunday”. The majority of the judges found that the tariff history and the practice of no work on Sundays for the last fifty years, did not mean that actors had to have their day off on Sundays.
