Supreme Court dismisses appeal when employee's link to acquired plant part cannot be established under Labor Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding her employment status after a state-owned farm was partially transferred to a housing cooperative. The lower court incorrectly assumed the employee remained with the original employer because her duties covered the entire former enterprise. The Supreme Court ruled that when it is impossible to determine which specific part of the acquired plant the employee was linked to, the change of employer does not apply to them.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 231 § 1 k.p.; When it is impossible to determine whether an employee was factually linked to the acquired part of a business, the change of employer does not apply to that employee.
