Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the civil appeal filed by the Ombudsman regarding a labor dispute. The Ombudsman argued for a retrial based on a specific cost allocation statute, but the Court ruled that Article 393(1) of the Civil Procedure Code applies regardless of the appeal's value. The Court found the lower court's assessment of the employee's negligence in managing fuel and inventory was a valid legal evaluation of established facts, not a factual error. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, and the appellant was ordered to pay the procedural costs.
