The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal seeking a retrial based on a Constitutional Court ruling. The lower court argued the Constitutional Court's finding of unconstitutionality applied retroactively to the entire statute, including provisions protecting union committee members. The Supreme Court clarified that the Constitutional Court's decision only invalidated the specific requirement for management consent when firing such members, not the general statutory framework. Consequently, the retrial request was rejected because the cited Constitutional Court ruling did not meet the strict statutory grounds for reopening the case.
