Drunk work by chronic alcoholic dismissed as insufficient for dismissal without notice due to lack of fault.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employer against a labor court's decision to reinstate an employee. The employee, suffering from chronic alcoholism, was found to be in a psychotic state during the incident, rendering him unable to control his actions or understand their wrongfulness. Consequently, the court ruled that his presence at work while intoxicated did not constitute a culpable breach of duties under the Labor Code, as the required element of fault was absent.
