The court of appeal ordered the employer, Cereales B.V., to prove that a new employment agreement in 2004 replaced the minimum and maximum hour limits from the previous contract. The employee argued these limits remained valid, while the employer claimed the new agreement implicitly cancelled them. The court decided to allow the employer to present evidence, including witness testimony, to establish whether the parties agreed to remove the specific hour restrictions.
