The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after his contract was terminated during a government administrative reform. The lower courts found that the employer, a tax office in liquidation, had the right to terminate the contract due to necessary staff reductions and the transfer of tasks to a new entity. The court ruled that Article 231 of the Labor Code does not prohibit such termination by a liquidating employer or its successor, as the statutory requirement to cite a valid reason was met.
