The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court decision that rejected the plaintiff's claim for reinstatement to work. The lower court had previously ruled that the employee's misconduct justified immediate termination and that granting reinstatement would constitute an abuse of rights under Article 8 of the Labor Code. The Supreme Court held that because the court explicitly rejected the reinstatement claim without addressing the alternative compensation claim, the scope of the res judicata effect covered only the reinstatement request, leaving the compensation claim unresolved.
