Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal against the lower court's judgment upholding the employer's termination. The employee argued that the employer's refusal to grant leave for professional training violated specific regulations, yet the court found the refusal was not a work instruction subject to legal prohibition. Consequently, the court ruled that the employee's subsequent absence constituted a breach of duties, rendering the termination lawful despite the alleged regulatory conflict.
