Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after being fired for suspected theft. Although the employee was later acquitted in criminal court, the employer argued that ongoing investigations and the employee's history of selling scrap metal justified the loss of trust. The court ruled that the validity of the dismissal depends on the existence of reasonable suspicion at the time, not on a subsequent criminal conviction.
