Supreme Court dismissed appeal; university terminated contract via agreement without separate decision under Higher Education Act.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a teacher against a university's termination of their employment contract. The university had resolved the labor relationship through a mutual agreement, transferring the plaintiff from an academic to an administrative position before terminating the contract, without requiring a separate administrative decision. The court held that Article 4771 § 11 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not apply to appellate proceedings, as the second-instance court relies on the appellant's arguments rather than conducting its own evidence gathering. Consequently, the cassation was rejected for lacking justified grounds under Article 393 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
