The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a union leader seeking reinstatement to his former job. The lower court had rejected the claim, awarding damages instead, based on findings of serious misconduct and the incompatibility of reinstatement with the new market economy system. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, ruling that Article 8 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not prevent denying reinstatement to union members when factual findings support such a conclusion.
