Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's cassation appeal regarding her dismissal from a primary school. The lower courts found that merging classes V and VI reduced student numbers, triggering statutory provisions allowing the director to transfer the teacher to inactive status due to the inability to work full-time. The Supreme Court agreed that the critical factor is whether the specific subject can be taught full-time, not the total number of teachers employed. Consequently, the court upheld the lower courts' decision that the statutory conditions for termination were met.
