Supreme Court dismissed cassation; invalidity of old labor law did not void training cost reimbursement contract.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment ordering the employee to reimburse the employer for vocational training costs. The employer argued that the invalidity of the repealed Article 103 of the Labor Code and the associated regulation did not retroactively invalidate the contract signed under those rules. The court held that the legislature explicitly preserved the validity of such contracts concluded before the new law took effect, thereby curing the legal defect of the repealed regulation.
