Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The court allowed the employee's claim regarding the non-payment of a discretionary bonus, ruling that the employer's decision was not arbitrary. The employer argued that the bonus was purely discretionary and thus subject to unfettered choice, while the employee contended that the discretion was limited by the principle of good faith. The court held that the principle of good faith restricts the employer's discretion, preventing arbitrary decisions and ensuring the bonus conditions are applied fairly.

Dit is het gevolg van de beperkende werking van de goede trouw.
