The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal regarding the employer's right to terminate a contract without notice under Article 53 § 3 of the Labor Code. The plaintiff, a warehouse worker, claimed he regained the capacity to work after a heart attack, but the medical certificate only allowed light work different from his original duties. The court ruled that regaining capacity must specifically relate to the job where incapacity was previously certified, and the employer's request for clarification was lawful. Consequently, the employer retained the right to terminate the contract without notice.
