Dismissal of appeal: Organizational dismissal need not coincide with actual post elimination date.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court ruling that rejected the employee's claim to reinstatement. The employee argued that the employer's dismissal lacked a real cause because the specific job position still existed on the formal date of termination, despite being eliminated shortly thereafter. The court held that organizational dismissals do not require the position to cease existing at the exact moment of termination, provided the elimination occurs within a short, non-distant period.
