AI generated

The Supreme Court partially allowed the cassation appeal, remanding the case for a new decision on reinstatement. The lower court denied reinstatement solely because the employer reduced its workforce, without assessing if the cuts affected the employee's specific position. The court ruled that general employment reductions do not automatically make reinstatement unwise unless specific circumstances regarding the employee's role are proven.
