Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding damages for mobbing. The plaintiff claimed she suffered health damage due to harassment by the university's chancellor, while the defendant argued it was not mobbing and that they had taken sufficient preventive steps. The court ruled that an employer is liable for mobbing if they fail to demonstrate they took real, effective preventive actions, regardless of whether the harassment was long-term or persistent.
