The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former assistant-stagiaire against a university regarding the legal nature of his employment. The plaintiff argued that performing teaching duties established an employment relationship, while the university contended the arrangement was a non-employment training stipend under the Higher Education Act. The court ruled that statutory provisions defining the assistant-stagiaire status as preparatory and non-employment prevail over factual teaching activities, preventing the automatic application of labor law protections.
