Dismissal of employee's wage claim when company liquidation eliminates actual work readiness.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding unpaid wages and dismissal from his position. The plaintiff, who was the sole manager and head of the enterprise, sued for wages after the company ceased operations in April 1994. The court ruled that because the company had factually ceased to exist as a workplace, the employee could not claim readiness to work or receive wages for non-existent work. Consequently, the court found no legal basis to support the plaintiff's request for compensation under the relevant labor code provisions.
