REPUBLIQUE DE MADAGASCAR<\/p>\n

COUR DE CASSATION<\/p>\n

CHAMBRE CIVILE COMMERCIALE ET SOCIALE<\/p>\n

La Cour de Cassation, Chambre Civile Commerciale et Sociale, en son audience publique ordinaire du mardi douze septembre deux mille dix-sept, tenue au Palais de Justice \u00e0 Anosy, a rendu l'arr\u00eat dont la teneur suit :<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s en avoir d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la loi ;<\/p>\n

Statuant sur le pourvoi de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 BIG PROTECTION repr\u00e9sent\u00e9e par B.P demeurant \u00e0 l'Agriculture, Carreau V, Parcelle 14\/22 Salazamay Sud-Toamasina mais \u00e9lisant domicile en l'\u00e9tude de son conseil Ma\u00eetre RAMIADAMAHEFA Elys\u00e9 lot II N 23 bis Anjanahary, contre l'arr\u00eat n\u00b0 CATO-57\/SOC\/13 rendu le 25 juillet 2013 par la Chambre Sociale de la Cour d'Appel de Toamasina dans l'affaire l'opposant \u00e0 R.B.M ;<\/p>\n

Vu les m\u00e9moires en demande et en d\u00e9fense ;<\/p>\n

Sur les deux moyens de cassation r\u00e9unis : pris de la violation de l'article 26 de la loi organique n\u00b02004.036 du 1er octobre 2004 sur la Cour Supr\u00eame et de l'article 12 in fine de la loi n\u00b0 2003.044 portant Code du Travail pour absence, insuffisance de motifs et g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement impossibilit\u00e9 pour la Cour Supr\u00eame d'exercer son contr\u00f4le ;<\/p>\n

En ce que la Cour s'est content\u00e9e de discuter seulement sur la cessation d'activit\u00e9 et n'a pas pris en consid\u00e9ration la force majeure subie par la d\u00e9fenderesse au pourvoi alors que l'article 12 du Code du Travail dispose que " la cessation d'activit\u00e9 de l'entreprise sauf en cas de force majeure, ne dispense pas l'employeur de respecter les r\u00e8gles \u00e9tablies de l'article 24 du Code du Travail " ;<\/p>\n

Qu'en effet, la demanderesse se trouve dans un \u00e9v\u00e8nement impr\u00e9visible et insurmontable, lequel est constitutif de force majeure notamment la r\u00e9siliation du contrat avec l'Etat Malagasy sans mise en demeure ni pr\u00e9avis ;<\/p>\n

Vu ledit texte ;<\/p>\n

Attendu que le risque de l'entreprise incombe \u00e0 l'employeur et non \u00e0 l'employ\u00e9 ; qu'en tout \u00e9tat de cause l'appr\u00e9ciation de la nature de la rupture du contrat rel\u00e8ve du pouvoir souverain des juges du fond et \u00e9chappe \u00e0 la censure de la Cour Supr\u00eame ; <\/p>\n

REJETTE le pourvoi.<\/p>\n

Ainsi jug\u00e9 et prononc\u00e9 par Cour, Chambre les jour, mois et an que dessus.<\/p>\n

O\u00f9 \u00e9taient pr\u00e9sents :<\/p>\n

Messieurs et Mesdames<\/p>\n

– RAMIADANARIVO Simone, Conseiller, Pr\u00e9sident ;<\/p>\n
