Supreme Court dismissed cassation; hearing and penalty decision by different persons does not violate Art. 109 § 2 KP.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a disciplinary fine imposed by a coal mine. The employee argued that the law required the same person who heard the employee to also impose the penalty, citing Article 109 § 2 of the Labor Code. The court ruled that the statute only mandates a prior hearing before the penalty, allowing the employer to delegate the hearing to another authorized person without violating the law.
