The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a final labor court judgment denying compensation for wrongful dismissal. The plaintiff argued that the employer's actions constituted a tort under the Civil Code, but the court held that labor law provisions are exhaustive regarding such disputes. Consequently, the court ruled that civil law remedies are unavailable when a matter is fully regulated by labor legislation.
