The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected the employer's unilateral termination of a post-employment non-compete clause. The plaintiff argued that the employer improperly used a labor contract termination notice to end the non-compete obligation, claiming such clauses are not part of the labor contract. The court held that since non-compete clauses are autonomous and not elements of the labor contract, the specific notice requirements for labor contract termination do not apply to them.
