Criminal conviction bars civil employer dismissal; procedural errors without material impact dismissed by Supreme Court.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after a criminal conviction for theft. Although the lower court failed to address specific evidence and conduct supplementary proceedings, the Supreme Court ruled these were procedural errors lacking material impact on the outcome. The court held that the prior criminal judgment establishing the employee's guilt bound the civil proceedings, rendering the employer's dismissal lawful.
Legislator headnote
