Supreme Court dismissed appeal claiming labor contract existence is an alternative claim under Art. 67 K.P. when employer terminates contract.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a teacher against a school regarding the termination of her employment contract. The plaintiff argued that establishing the existence of a labor relationship was an alternative claim available under Article 67 of the Labor Code when the employer violated termination rules. The court rejected this, ruling that the claim to establish a labor relationship is not an alternative remedy but a distinct matter subject to specific procedural timelines and substantive requirements. Consequently, the court held that the plaintiff's attempt to bypass the statutory protection procedures for termination by seeking a declaratory judgment was legally unfounded.
