Supreme Court quashes dismissal for breach of duty, noting journalist's public service role limits liability.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim to return to his job as a journalist. The plaintiff argued that organizing a press conference without employer consent constituted a severe breach of duty, while the employer cited violations of confidentiality and editorial policy. The court held that the journalist's constitutional and statutory duty to serve the public and ensure media transparency must be weighed against the employer's interests, preventing a blanket classification of the act as a severe breach.
