Supreme Court dismissed cassation appeal regarding unjustified termination of fixed-term employment contract with compensation.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a lower court's award of damages for unjustified termination of a fixed-term employment contract. The employer argued that the termination was lawful due to a pre-agreed clause allowing early termination and that no actual loss occurred, while the employee claimed the clause was a pretext to avoid obligations. The court ruled that the statutory right to compensation under Article 471 of the Labor Code is independent of whether actual damages were proven or the specific reason for termination.
