The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding the existence of an employment relationship. The lower court found that the plaintiff was an employee based on subordination and hourly pay, despite the written contracts being for work done. The Court ruled that an hourly rate is not exclusive to employment and that the lack of subordination, proven by facts, meant the relationship was civil, not labor.
