Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court's decision to reject the plaintiff's claim for reinstatement and back pay. The plaintiff, a telephone operator, agreed to terminate her employment by mutual agreement upon the future closure of her manual switchboard, which was planned for late 1996 but delayed until 1997. The court ruled that the statutory provisions on termination for employer reasons apply mutatis mutandis to mutual agreements, permitting the termination date to be set as a future event rather than requiring the event to exist at the time of the agreement.
