Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by employees against their dismissal following the employer's bankruptcy liquidation. The court found that the Labor Code's special protection against dismissal for bankruptcy does not apply when the employer's assets are transferred to new entities without the employer's involvement in hiring. Consequently, the court ruled that the general rule allowing dismissal upon liquidation remains valid and the lower court correctly applied the law.
