Labour effects of corporate groups in Belgium

The Belgian legal order tends to hold every individual company accountable as a separate legal entity and maintains that a corporate group has no legal personality as such. Notwithstanding power relations present between companies in a group, regulations are often not amended to take these changed circumstances into account. Specific labor law provisions concerned with corporate groups are scarce and mainly try to preserve social dialogue in more complex corporate structures. This lack of regulation prompts judges to extend existing doctrines. Most notably, the doctrine of co-employment is used to hold companies jointly liable in certain instances.
