Employment contract clauses exceeding reasonableness limits are void under general principles of coexistence.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that voided specific employment contract clauses. The lower court found that a six-month notice period with immediate non-work obligation and a three-month non-compete compensation were excessive given the employer's financial situation. The Supreme Court agreed, noting the lower court failed to critically evaluate witness testimony regarding the employer's financial health and the timing of the contract relative to political events.
