Supreme Court quashes labor dispute verdict for untimely appeal due to reasonable employee misconception about appeal rights.

The Supreme Court quashed lower court rulings dismissing an employee's claim for wrongful dismissal damages due to a procedural time bar. The employee argued he acted under a reasonable belief that no appeal existed because his employment was based on appointment rather than a contract, and he was never informed of his rights. The Court held that this misconception, combined with the ambiguous legal status of his relationship, justified applying the statute allowing for the restoration of the appeal deadline.
