Employer damages awarded for refusing fixed-term contract after internal mandate, but not reinstatement due to ongoing disability.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially allowed the plaintiff's cassation appeal, overturning the lower court's dismissal of the damages claim while upholding the rejection of reinstatement. The plaintiff argued that an internal management order obligating the employer to rehire him created a binding duty breached by the refusal. The court ruled that while the employer failed to honor this mandate, the plaintiff's ongoing disability prevented the statutory right to reinstatement under the relevant labor code provisions.
