Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor compensation award. The lower courts correctly determined that the employment relationship with the plaintiff terminated on December 31, 1993, before the factory was transferred to a new lessee on January 1, 1994. Consequently, the new employer was not bound by the termination provisions because the employee was no longer in an employment relationship at the time of the transfer.
