Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the employer's cassation appeal regarding the reinstatement of an employee who took statutory leave. The lower courts had ordered reinstatement based on the employee's alleged breach of duties, but the Supreme Court found the dismissal procedurally invalid because the statutory leave automatically terminated the employment contract. Consequently, the court ruled that reinstating the employee was legally impossible as the contract had already expired, rendering the lower court's decision on reinstatement without a factual basis.
