The Court of Appeal dismissed the employer's request to unilaterally lower the notice period to the statutory minimum. The employer argued that current collective agreement terms allowed this reduction, but the court found no legal basis for such a unilateral change. Consequently, the court ruled that the agreed notice period remains valid and binding on both parties.
