Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employer against a labor court ruling that reinstated an employee to work. The employee, who was pregnant and on sick leave, attended part-time school classes while following her doctor's specific advice to avoid strenuous work. The court held that acting within the limits of medical recommendations does not constitute a breach of fundamental employment obligations, even if the employer believes the employee could have recovered faster.
