Supreme Court dismisses appeal; dismissal by law excludes Code of Labor Law Art. 56 application.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a customs official seeking reinstatement or compensation after his dismissal. The lower courts found the employee guilty of document forgery and other offenses, leading to a disciplinary dismissal that automatically terminated his employment under the specific statute governing state officials. The Court ruled that because the employment relationship ended by operation of law upon the final disciplinary decision, rather than by an employer's voluntary declaration, Article 56 of the Code of Labor Law does not apply.
