The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against the lower courts' rejection of his request to conclude an employment contract. The plaintiff argued that negotiations implied a binding agreement, but the court found no consensus on essential terms like job type, start date, or salary. Consequently, the court held that without a preliminary contract meeting statutory requirements, neither party could enforce the other's promise to hire.
