Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after his contract was terminated. The lower court found that the employer's decision to fire the youngest employee, who possessed a farm and other income, was justified by the company's economic restructuring and the ease of re-employment for younger workers. The court ruled that age and additional income are not discriminatory criteria in this context because they relate to the objective goal of minimizing reintegration difficulties during a layoff.
