Supreme Court dismisses appeal where an employer's dismissal of an employee is deemed valid due to lack of clear statutory authority rules.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against his dismissal by a Provincial Medical Doctor. The employee argued that the Provincial Medical Doctor lacked exclusive authority to terminate his employment after the hospital's organizational structure changed, while the opposing party contended that the doctor remained the appointing authority under the Labor Code. The court ruled that because the relevant laws did not clearly define the competent body for dismissal at the time, the dismissal was legally effective, and the employee's silence regarding the matter for over five years constituted tacit confirmation of the action.
