The Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's cassation appeal regarding her request for reinstatement after being fired without notice. The lower court found that the teacher severely violated her duties by plagiarizing colleagues' work and failing to attend meetings, yet the Supreme Court ruled that such termination requires a formal disciplinary procedure under the Teachers' Charter. Consequently, while the dismissal was deemed illegal, reinstatement was rejected as unreasonable, limiting the teacher to compensation under labor code provisions.
