How many people in Luxembourg have changed their name ?

The law of December 2020 made it easier to request a change of name or surname. How many people have changed their names in 2021 and what are general reasons for these requests? Our MPs Max Hahn and Carole Hartmann inquired at the ministry.

« En décembre 2020, la Chambre des Députés a voté la loi sur le changement du noms et des prénoms et portant modification de la loi modifiée du 8 mars 2017 sur la nationalité luxembourgeoise.

Dans ce contexte, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Justice :

  • Combien de demandes pour changement de nom ou de prénom(s) ont été soumises en 2021 ?
  • Á combien de ces dossiers le Ministère a-t-il pu donner une suite favorable ? Pour quelles raisons les autres dossiers ont-ils été refusés ?
  • Quelles sont les catégories et raisons pour lesquelles les demandes de changement de nom ou prénom(s) sont introduites ?
  • Depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la loi, y a-t-il eu des demandes de changement de nom voire de prénom liées à une modification de la mention du sexe du requérant ou de la requérante ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, combien de demandes de ce type ont été introduites ? Ces demandes ont-elles pu être favorablement accueillies ? Dans la négative, quelles étaient les raisons de refus émis ?

Qu’en est-il de l’interconnexion entre les différentes administrations publiques ? Est-ce que toutes les modifications sont transmises aux différentes administrations dès leur entrée en vigueur ? »

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
