Orkesteritrio, jonka keskeisin soitin oli kosketinsoitin, sitoutui ohjelmatoimiston kanssa tekemänsä määräaikaisen työsopimuksen nojalla soittamaan ravintolassa viihde- ja tanssimusiikkia mm. sellaisin ehdoin, että orkesterin jäsenten vaihtamisesta oli sovittava työnantajan kanssa; muussa tapauksessa sopimus ei ollut voimassa.

Yhtye vaihtoi kosketinsoittimeen uuden henkilön siitä työnantajalle ilmoittamatta. Uudessa kokoonpanossa se ei kyennyt kohtuuden mukaan täyttämään työtehtäväänsä, jolloin ravintolan asiakkaat valittivat musiikin tasosta. Työnantajalla katsottiin työsopimuslain 43 §:n 1 momentin nojalla olleen oikeus tärkeän syyn vuoksi purkaa työsopimus.
