Supreme Court dismissed appeal; non-compete clause termination affects employee only, not employer's damages obligation.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a lower court's decision to reject his claim for damages. The employee argued that a change in his job role removed the objective threat to the employer's interests, thereby terminating the non-compete clause and releasing the employer from paying compensation. The court ruled that Article 1012 § 2 of the Labor Code only governs the employee's obligation to refrain from competition, not the employer's duty to pay damages upon termination of the clause.
