Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court judgment ordering an employee to pay for stolen cash. The employee, a delivery driver, left his vehicle unattended with a jacket containing money while eating at a restaurant, resulting in a burglary. The court found the employee grossly negligent for leaving the vehicle in a visible spot and failing to take the money with him, establishing liability despite the employer's failure to provide security. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision, ruling that the employee bore responsibility for the loss within the scope of the established fault.
