The court ruled that a labor contract terminated by mutual agreement must be evidenced in writing, yet tacit or indirect expressions of intent are valid. The parties argued regarding the necessity of a formal document versus the sufficiency of their implied mutual consent. The court decided that while written form is mandatory, the underlying agreement can be proven through indirect or tacit manifestations of will.
