The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employer against a labor court order reinstating two employees. The employer argued that the general phrase 'actions endangering the company' used to terminate the contracts lacked the specificity required by law. However, the court held that because the employee did not raise a procedural objection regarding this vagueness, the factual findings of the lower court remained binding. Consequently, the court ruled that the general formulation was sufficient as it did not create reasonable doubts about the specific wrongful acts linked to the termination.
