Supreme Court dismisses appeal; indefinite contract cannot transform to fixed-term without explicit statutory provision.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal, quashing the lower court's decision that transformed an indefinite-term employment contract into a fixed-term one. The plaintiff argued that a five-year service period automatically converted the contract, while the employer contended the original agreement remained indefinite. The court ruled that Article 58 of the Civil Code does not permit such a transformation by operation of law, as no specific statute authorizes it.
