Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employee's illness did not excuse missing appeal deadline for dismissal.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a labor court ruling that rejected his claim for reinstatement. The employee argued that his medical leave for hypertension prevented him from meeting the seven-day deadline to appeal his dismissal, yet the lower courts held that missing this deadline barred any review of the dismissal's legality. The Court ruled that a disease justifying work suspension does not automatically excuse a procedural failure to file a timely appeal, thereby upholding the dismissal as procedurally valid despite the employee's illness.
