Failure to follow an administrator's medical order constitutes a breach of duty justifying dismissal.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a doctor seeking reinstatement after his employment contract was terminated. The court found that the doctor's refusal to perform a specific radiological examination ordered by the department head violated his professional duties and justified the dismissal. Although the court acknowledged that doctors should not blindly follow orders, it ruled that the administrator's instructions regarding patient treatment generally bind the employee unless specific medical or organizational changes exist.
