The Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that upheld the employer's dismissal. The lower courts found that the employee's unauthorized abandonment of duty and leaving an unsecured service vehicle in a psychiatric hospital caused significant safety risks and property damage. The Supreme Court ruled that such a serious breach of the duty of care justified the dismissal and that labor courts cannot correct lawful employer decisions based on equal treatment claims.
