Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision to reinstate the employee and ordered the case for retrial. The employer had terminated the contract without notice citing serious misconduct, but failed to provide a specific reason in the written notice as required by law. The court held that the statutory obligation to state the precise grounds for dismissal was not met, necessitating a new trial to determine if the employer fulfilled this procedural requirement.

Art. 52 § 1 pkt 1 KP; Art. 30 § 4 KP: The employer's declaration of termination without notice must specify the grounds in a manner that unambiguously indicates the employee's fault in the employer's opinion; failure to do so renders the termination procedurally defective.
