The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former vice-president of a limited liability company against the Regional Labor Court's judgment. The plaintiff argued that his role constituted an employment relationship requiring payment, while the company contended that board duties are civil obligations that may be performed without remuneration. The court ruled that merely holding a board position does not automatically create an employment relationship, as the plaintiff failed to prove the necessary subordination and that the initial employment contract was not renewed.
