Supreme Court allows extraordinary review for pregnancy during notice period, voiding dismissal due to legal error.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court granted an extraordinary review, quashing lower court decisions that dismissed a teacher's claim to return to work. The plaintiff argued she became pregnant during the notice period, while the lower courts ignored this fact and upheld the dismissal based on lack of qualifications. The Court ruled that the statutory ban on terminating employment during pregnancy applies even if the pregnancy occurs after the notice period has started, and the lower courts erred by failing to consider this objective fact.
