The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court order restoring the employee to his fishing position. The lower court found that while the employer alleged loss of trust based on anonymous tips and the employee keeping fish in a bin, no concrete evidence proved theft or illegal trade. The court emphasized that employees must be allowed to openly criticize work organization and that the employer failed to substantiate the claim of lost trust with specific proof.
