Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court decision terminating his employment contract. The plaintiff argued that his dismissal was discriminatory under Article 113 of the Labor Code because he was eligible for early mining pensions, while the employer cited economic restructuring and the need to reduce staff. The court held that pension eligibility was merely a selection criterion and did not constitute a protected ground for discrimination, as the plaintiff failed to prove his personal circumstances were significantly worse than other dismissed workers.
