The Supreme Court dismissed the employer's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that reinstated an employee. The court held that merely discovering a shortage in entrusted property does not equate to theft or justify dismissal without notice under Article 52 of the Labor Code. The decision emphasized that without a confirmed crime or clear evidence of intent, the employer failed to meet the statutory requirements for immediate termination.
