The Supreme Court dismissed the employee's claim for damages regarding his dismissal from a long-term contract. The employee voluntarily took early retirement, but was subsequently dismissed seven months before his pension start date due to company insolvency and production needs. The court ruled the dismissal was lawful because it was based on economic and operational reasons rather than personal fault.

Pian tämän jälkeen yhtiö oli kokonaan lakkauttanut markkinointi- ja myyntiosastonsa.
