The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a labor court ruling that rejected his claim for severance pay. The employee argued that his dismissal was invalid and that he had not been effectively terminated, while the employer contended the notice was legally effective. The court held that even if a termination notice was flawed or unjustified, it still produces legal consequences and cannot be declared void by operation of law.
