The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a labor court's decision to revoke a disciplinary warning. The employee argued that the employer failed to properly notify him of the penalty before imposing it, claiming the initial letter served only as delivery. The court ruled that an employee's refusal to accept a letter they know contains information about a disciplinary sanction constitutes valid notification under the Labor Code. Consequently, the court found no procedural violation and upheld the lower court's decision to revoke the penalty.
