The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by former company executives against a labor dispute judgment. The lower courts ruled that the executives' agreements establishing severance pay were void due to improper corporate representation, and the appeal was rejected on this ground. Additionally, the Court clarified that proving legal costs requires submitting a cost list rather than a contract, a procedural point that also supported the dismissal of the appeal regarding litigation expenses.
