The court rejected the employer's request to terminate the employment contract immediately and denied the employee's claim for reinstatement and back pay. While the employee admitted placing a police pamphlet on the desk and using offensive language, he later alleged a sudden loss of control due to a medical blackout. The court found no medical evidence supporting this claim and deemed the conduct sufficiently blameworthy to justify termination. Consequently, the judge ruled that the urgency required for an immediate dismissal was not met, leading to the dismissal of the employer's interim relief request.
