The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a worker against his dismissal for being intoxicated at work. The worker argued that the court violated procedural rules by failing to order an expert opinion regarding his health status and the potential influence of alcohol on his body. The court held that the worker's intoxication was established through direct evidence and that the disputed medical details were secondary to the main issue of his conduct. Consequently, the court ruled that the lower court did not need to establish the specific impact of medications or alcohol on the worker's physiology to justify the dismissal.
