The Supreme Court dismissed the doctor's cassation appeal, ordering her to return to work and pay the employer's costs. The lower court found she violated her employment contract by leaving her clinic before the scheduled 15:30 hour to attend a hospital shift, despite having no prior approval for this early departure. The court held that the employer's obligation is to work within the fixed hours defined in the contract, not until the last patient is seen, and thus her absence was unjustified.
