Dismissal of appeal: valid dismissal reason exists if it materializes within the notice period, not just at the moment of notice.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the dismissal of two employees due to organizational changes. The lower courts found the employer's notice of dismissal valid because the merger and subsequent job elimination were certain to occur within the statutory notice period. The court ruled that a 'real reason' for dismissal includes a reason intended to materialize in the near future, provided the employer is still the legal employer at the time of notice.
