Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal, upholding the district court's decision that the bankruptcy trustee acted as the employer. The court found that upon bankruptcy, the company's organs lose legal capacity, leaving the trustee as the sole authorized entity to manage assets and conduct labor relations. Consequently, the trustee's termination of the employee's contract was a valid exercise of employer authority rather than an unauthorized act by a former organ.
