Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the bus driver's cassation appeal seeking reinstatement after he was fired for issuing tickets worth less than the amounts passengers paid. The driver argued his intentional undercharging did not amount to a serious breach of duties, but the court found his willful act of causing damage to the employer justified termination without notice. Consequently, the court upheld the dismissal and ordered the driver to pay the employer's legal costs.
