Supreme Court dismisses appeal; continuous failure to undergo medical exams justifies immediate termination of academic teacher's contract.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an academic teacher seeking reinstatement after his contract was terminated without notice. The court found that the teacher's repeated refusal to undergo mandatory medical examinations ordered by the university constituted a continuous breach of duty rather than a one-time incident. Consequently, the court ruled that such persistent non-compliance with health checks legally justifies the employer's right to terminate the employment relationship at any time.
