Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation regarding the vacation pay equivalent due to the low value of the claim, but allowed the remainder of the appeal. The plaintiff, acquitted of criminal charges for allegedly stealing building materials, sought reinstatement after being fired by his hospital employer. The court held that a criminal acquittal is not binding in civil labor disputes, allowing the employer to terminate the contract based on a separate civil assessment of the plaintiff's conduct and loss of trust.
