Supreme Court dismisses cassation; contract period shorter than non-compete period avoids statutory conflict.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's judgment awarding compensation to an employee. The lower court had ruled that the statutory minimum compensation could not be lower than 25% of the employee's earnings for the entire employment period. The Court found that since the employee's actual employment duration (three months) was shorter than the agreed non-compete period (two years), the contractual limitation did not create a conflict with the statute. Consequently, the lower court's interpretation was deemed correct, and the case was returned for a new ruling on costs.
