The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's judgment awarding compensation to a former director for an illegal dismissal. The plaintiff argued that the Council of Employees' determination of his salary was valid, while the defendant contended the Council lacked authority after June 1994. The court ruled that the Council's actions were invalid without the Minister of Finance's ratification, which was never established, and rejected the presumption of the Minister's consent due to insufficient factual findings.
