Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking damages equivalent to termination for dismissal. The court held that a new law allowing such claims applies retroactively to dismissals occurring before its effective date. Consequently, the employee's failure to file a timely appeal due to a misunderstanding of their rights was deemed an unjustified delay.
