The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a final judgment rejecting his claim for reinstatement. The employee argued that his termination was based on false statements by supervisors, warranting damages under civil law, but the lower courts ignored his evidentiary requests. The court ruled that questioning factual findings from a final judgment between the same parties violates the principle of res judicata and is inadmissible under Article 217 § 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
