Supreme Court dismisses reinstatement claim when workplace conflict makes return unreasonable, allowing damages instead.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court decision denying her request to be reinstated to her position. Although the school had improperly terminated her contract without notice, the court found that a serious conflict between the plaintiff and her supervisor made reinstatement unreasonable and counterproductive. Consequently, the court upheld the lower courts' ruling to deny reinstatement but acknowledged the school's obligation to pay damages as an alternative remedy.
