Temporary appointment dismissal upheld; Art. 8 KP abuse of rights not found absent bad faith or victimization.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a doctor dismissed from a fixed-term position before its expiration. The lower courts ruled that the temporary manager acting as director had the authority to dismiss the employee and that the dismissal did not constitute an abuse of rights under Article 8 of the Labor Code. The Supreme Court agreed, noting that fixed-term appointments do not guarantee job security and that the employer's action was lawful unless driven by bad faith or victimization, neither of which was proven.
