Civil claim for damages under Civil Code dismissed as not alternative to unemployment pay claim.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that awarded unemployment compensation but rejected a separate civil damages claim. The appellant argued that as a union member, she deserved full compensation for wrongful termination under the Civil Code, while the lower courts correctly applied labor law provisions to determine the specific compensation amount. The Supreme Court held that a civil damages claim is not a normative alternative to the statutory unemployment pay claim and was inadmissible because it was not raised during the initial proceedings.
