Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employer not required to seek police opinion for dismissal due to municipal reorganization.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a municipal fire chief against his termination due to municipal reorganization. The plaintiff argued that the employer violated labor laws by failing to obtain a police chief's opinion regarding his removal from the fire chief position. The court ruled that the police opinion is required for appointing or removing the fire chief function, not for terminating the employment contract itself. Consequently, the dismissal was deemed lawful as the statutory conditions for termination were met independently of the police consultation procedure.
