Supreme Court allows expulsion from cooperative for working for a competitor without board approval.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal, upholding the lower court's decision to reinstate the plaintiff after his expulsion from the cooperative. The plaintiff, a supervisory board member, worked for a competing firm without the management's consent, violating the cooperative's statute. The court ruled that the statute could specifically define such unauthorized work as a serious breach of member duties, justifying expulsion to protect the cooperative's economic interests.
