Employer breach of job stability guarantee during takeover deemed abuse of law under good faith principles.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against the lower court's ruling that the dismissal was ineffective. The employer argued that the court incorrectly interpreted the law by prioritizing the employee's interests over those of other workers. The court rejected this, holding that the employer's failure to maintain job stability for one year after taking over a protected facility constituted an abuse of rights contrary to social good faith, rendering the dismissal void regardless of the economic grounds cited.
