The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding overtime pay to a truck driver. The appellant argued that the first-instance court violated procedural rules by cross-examining the employer's representative as a witness without prior notice under Article 259(3) of the Code of Civil Procedure. The court held that since this procedural defect was not raised during the appeal stage and the factual findings relied on multiple other evidence sources, the error could not influence the case result.
