"In The Line Of Duty" and the "Lobster Law" in Panama
(Panama-Guide) Yesterday the Panamanian National Assembly passed the controversial "Lobster Law" which modified three codes (Criminal, Judicial, and Labor Codes) as well as articles of six other existing laws in Panama. The bulk of the underlying law has to do with elements related to commercial aviation, and most of that is a codification of a requirement to force Panamanian aviation companies, such as COPA, to hire 85% Panamanian pilots.
