Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal regarding the return to work and the 1993 bonus, but allowed a partial claim for procedural costs. The court found that providing private legal services while representing the employer constituted a serious breach of basic employee obligations under Article 52 of the Labor Code. Consequently, the dismissal without notice was legally justified, and the appeal on the bonus was inadmissible due to the low value threshold.
