Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against his dismissal for playing football during medical leave. The court found that the lower court correctly interpreted Article 52 of the Labor Code, ruling that participation in sports without a doctor's recommendation does not amount to a serious breach of duties. Consequently, the dismissal was upheld as the employee did not abuse social insurance benefits or endanger the employer's interests.
