Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's cassation appeal seeking a finding of an indefinite-term employment contract. The lower courts held that the school's need to cover teaching hours and substitute for absent staff justified a fixed-term agreement. The Court agreed that such needs, including covering other teachers' leave, do not mandate an indefinite contract.
