The Supreme Court allowed the plaintiff's claim for damages against the Medical Academy regarding his termination. The plaintiff, a professor, was transferred to a different unit, which automatically stripped him of his director role despite the university statute governing this function. The court ruled that this transfer constituted a material change in the employment contract terms without following the mandatory procedures required by the Labor Code. Consequently, the lower court's dismissal was overturned, and the plaintiff was awarded compensation for the illegal modification of his employment conditions.
