Supreme Court dismisses cassation when factual changes render prior legal interpretation obsolete.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor dispute judgment regarding a public official's employment status. The plaintiff argued that a prior Supreme Court interpretation required reinstatement and damages, but the lower court correctly applied the law based on new facts. The court ruled that the binding legal interpretation became invalid because the district council revoked the plaintiff's mandate, changing the factual circumstances since the original decision. Consequently, the lower court's refusal to reinstate the plaintiff was legally sound, and the appeal was rejected.
