Supreme Court dismisses appeal when special teacher law exhaustively defines fixed-term employment scenarios.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a teacher against a lower court's decision to convert her fixed-term employment to an indefinite one. The teacher argued that Article 251 of the Labor Code should apply to mandate the conversion, while the school contended that the Teacher's Card Act specifically governs her situation. The court ruled that because the Teacher's Card Act exhaustively lists circumstances for fixed-term contracts, the general Labor Code provision allowing automatic conversion does not apply in this specific context.
