Supreme Court held that employer's damages claim for early termination under Employment Act is not premature post-judgment.

The Supreme Court ruled that an employer's claim for damages under Section 51 of the Employment Act is not premature after a lower court judgment. The employer argued that the claim for lost earnings should be dismissed as premature, while the employee contended for its validity. The court decided the claim is permissible because the statutory right to damages arises immediately upon termination, regardless of pending litigation.
