The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a labor court's decision regarding the validity of his termination agreement. The employee argued that a psychiatric expert opinion was necessary to prove his mental capacity at the time of signing, while the court relied on existing social security medical records and signature analysis. The court held that the exclusion of the expert opinion did not violate procedural law because sufficient evidence regarding the employee's mental state already existed in the file.
