Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a cooperative member seeking reinstatement after being expelled for drunkenness. The plaintiff argued for protection under Article 8 of the Labor Code, but the court found he violated social coexistence norms by arriving drunk and acting aggressively. Consequently, the court ruled that such an employee cannot validly invoke social conduct protections to challenge a dismissal based on severe breach of duties.
