Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the plaintiff's request to be reinstated as school director because the position was filled by a new candidate following a public competition. While the employer incorrectly terminated the plaintiff's indefinite-term employment contract upon the expiration of her temporary directorship, the court found reinstatement legally impossible and unwise under labor law principles. Consequently, the court awarded monetary compensation equivalent to three months' salary as damages for the wrongful termination while rejecting the specific claim for job restoration.
