Supreme Court dismissed appeal; repeated fixed-term contracts without breaks deemed valid under bankruptcy circumstances.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a regional court ruling that converted her employment into an indefinite-term contract. The plaintiff argued that the employer systematically destroyed previous fixed-term contracts to evade the legal requirement for an indefinite-term contract under Article 251 of the Labor Code. The court found that the repeated renewals were a necessary and agreed-upon response to the employer's bankruptcy and liquidation proceedings, not an attempt to circumvent the law. Consequently, the court held that the lower court correctly applied the statute and rejected the claim of procedural error.
