Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim to return to work, remanding the case for a new trial. The plaintiff argued that the employer failed to prove his actions constituted gross misconduct under Article 52 of the Labor Code, while the employer contended his management errors caused significant fuel waste. The court held that mere negligence is insufficient; the employer must demonstrate intentional fault or reckless negligence causing specific harm to justify termination without notice.
