Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after his fixed-term contract expired. The lower courts correctly determined that a letter changing the job title and salary, which included a clause stating 'other terms remain unchanged,' did not create a new fixed-term contract. The court ruled that such a clause applies to conditions like working hours and location, but not to the contract's expiration date, which was explicitly set in the original agreement.
