The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding the unlawful termination of his employment contract. The court found that the additional management service agreements did not transform the underlying relationship into a civil management contract because the plaintiff lacked independent decision-making authority and remained subject to employer directives. Consequently, the employer's dismissal under Article 52 of the Labor Code was lawful, and the plaintiff's claim for damages was rejected.
