Supreme Court dismissed cassation as the Equal Treatment Act does not apply to employer-employee relations. The court rejected claims of discrimination regarding equal treatment between parties. The decision upheld the lower court's dismissal of the employee's claims. The ruling clarified that anti-discrimination laws govern employer conduct, not judicial balancing of interests. The court found no procedural errors in the first-instance judgment. The cassation was rejected due to lack of valid grounds under the Civil Procedure Code. The judgment emphasizes the specific scope of labor law protections. The court ruled that the employee's arguments were legally unfounded. The decision stands as a precedent for similar labor dispute cases. The outcome reinforces the boundaries of judicial review in labor matters.
