The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal filed by a miner seeking reinstatement after his employment contract was terminated for drunkenness while on vacation. The lower courts found that the company's work regulations explicitly prohibited employees from being intoxicated on premises, even during authorized absences, and that the plaintiff's behavior constituted a serious breach of duties. The court upheld this decision, ruling that such regulations are legally valid and that the employer's termination was justified under the Labor Code.
