The Supreme Court quashed the Regional Court's judgment and remanded the case for a new decision on costs. The lower court incorrectly dismissed the employer's appeal without addressing specific arguments regarding the lack of a defined union protection period and the mandatory review of all appeal claims. The court ruled that the Regional Court violated procedural rules by failing to consider every argument raised by the appellant, necessitating a retrial to ensure a complete legal assessment.
