Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employer reorganization without negative work assessment exempts prior bar association opinion requirement.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding his dismissal from a law firm. The plaintiff argued that the employer violated statutory duties by terminating his contract without first obtaining an opinion from the regional bar association and conducting a work assessment. The court ruled that these obligations do not apply when a job position is eliminated due to reorganization rather than the employee's poor performance. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed lawful as it stemmed from organizational changes without a negative evaluation of the plaintiff's work.
