Supreme Court rules Labor Code termination provisions do not apply to teacher dismissals under Teacher Charter.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the termination of a teacher's employment contract. The plaintiff, a mathematics teacher, was dismissed due to organizational changes reducing class numbers, citing Article 20 of the Teacher Charter. The court held that Article 41 of the Labor Code does not apply in such cases because the Teacher Charter provides exhaustive rules for dismissing teachers. Consequently, the court determined that applying the Labor Code would violate the principle of equal treatment and the school director's authority to manage necessary reductions in staff.
