Supreme Court dismissed appeal; unjust enrichment rules cannot bypass limited employee liability if fault exists.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against the labor court's decision. The employer argued that the employee, acting as a bailiff, should be liable for overcharged fees based on civil unjust enrichment rules, claiming he acted with negligence. The court held that applying civil unjust enrichment provisions to override the specific limitations of employee liability in labor law is impermissible when the employee's conduct involves fault.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 405 KC; Art. 409 KC: Provisions on unjust enrichment cannot be used to circumvent limitations on employee material liability when the employee's unjust enrichment simultaneously exhibits characteristics of faultful damage to the employer.
