The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after her employment contract was terminated due to organizational restructuring. The lower courts found that the employer's decision to merge departments and reassign the plaintiff to a different role was based on valid criteria for selecting personnel. The Supreme Court ruled that judicial review is limited to the fairness of selection criteria, not the substantive legality of the restructuring itself.
