Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment regarding unpaid advance payments. The appellant argued that the defendant's unauthorized lawyer's actions should be validated, but the court held that lack of proper authorization under Article 379(2) of the Code of Civil Procedure always invalidates proceedings. Consequently, the lower court's decision was overturned, and the case was remanded for a new trial.
