Supreme Court dismisses appeal regarding termination reason before new law requiring specific cause for dismissal.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court order reinstating the teacher. The plaintiff argued the employer failed to specify the termination reason under the new Code of Labor Law, while the defendant claimed the general phrase 'lack of discipline' was sufficient given prior written warnings. The court ruled that the statutory obligation to cite a specific reason only applies to terminations occurring after June 2, 1996, and thus the lower court's finding of a procedural violation was incorrect.
