The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the employer's appeal against the termination of a technical engineer's contract. The court found that the employer's justification for dismissal was insufficient because it relied on the employee's response to a reprimand, which involved the employer using the insulting phrase 'go get lost.' The court ruled that such conduct violated the fundamental principle of employment stability, rendering the dismissal illegal.

SUMÁRIO

I - Face ao princípio da estabilidade do emprego, não é suficiente para justificar o despedimento o facto do Autor ( engenheiro técnico ) ter respondido, perante testemunhas, ao seu superior hierárquico, que lhe chamou a atenção por estar a dormitar no seu posto de trabalho, " vai-te lixar ".
