The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a labor dispute with mixed claims could be validly heard by a single judge and two lay judges. The plaintiff sought multiple remedies, some requiring a single judge and others a mixed panel, which the lower court incorrectly split. The court ruled that the mixed panel composition remains valid for the entire case because at least one claim fits that format. Consequently, the procedural defect regarding the composition of the court for the other claims does not invalidate the proceedings.
