Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a teacher against the Education Directorate regarding his wrongful dismissal for union activity. The plaintiff argued that the Civil Code should apply to claim damages for lost wages, asserting the specific 1989 Act did not cover monetary compensation. The court ruled that labor law provisions regarding wrongful termination are exhaustive and closed, explicitly excluding the application of the Civil Code to such disputes.
