The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two employees seeking reinstatement after their employer was ordered into liquidation. The lower court had granted damages for wrongful dismissal but rejected the request to reinstate the workers. The court ruled that Article 411 of the Labor Code applies when a liquidation order is issued, provided the act is not invalid or merely apparent, thereby validating the dismissal procedure.
