Supreme Court dismissed appeal; breach of collective agreement on layoffs does not apply if it didn't affect termination.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking damages for wrongful dismissal. The employee argued that the employer violated the law by failing to follow a collective agreement regarding layoff criteria, yet the court found this breach irrelevant because it did not influence the actual termination of the employment contract. Consequently, the court ruled that procedural violations in collective bargaining do not constitute grounds for cassation when they lack material impact on the final outcome.
