Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employer selection violated social norms only if fired workers' personal situation is significantly worse than others.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two employees seeking reinstatement after dismissal due to workforce reduction. The lower courts had previously ordered reinstatement based on the employer's failure to consider the personal circumstances of the dismissed workers compared to those retained. The Court ruled that while the employer's selection criteria were valid, reinstatement is only possible if the dismissed workers' personal situation is significantly worse than that of comparable employees who were not fired.
