Abstract
Remittance from foreign employment has been the major contribution in the Gross Domestic Product of Nepal. Every year a large number of Nepalese migrant worker is going aboard for employment. The recruiting agencies in the foreign employment sector have been playing a key role in the sector. The sector has many players in the Nepalese market, from brokers to agencies who are operating legally, if registered at government agencies as per the Foreign Employment Act, 2007. The remittance from foreign employment has been the backbone of the Nepalese economy and the Foreign Employment Act, 2007 has been the main cornerstone to deal with the legal cases related to foreign employment. The act has made the provisions to handle the legal cases by the Department of Foreign Employment at the initial phase and if not dealt from there are forwarded to the Foreign Employment Tribunal. In context to Nepal, the Foreign Employment Tribunal has been the key institution to settle the legal cases related to foreign employment as the Supreme Court of Nepal has also forwarded the decisions as it was decided from the Tribunal. Nevertheless, the cases related to foreign employment are difficult to be settled easily in context to Nepal due to the centralization of the court system, inadequate evidence produce by the victims at the court and lack of sufficient technical resources to handle the foreign employment-related cases.
