Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for severance pay and damages arising from a terminated employment agreement. The plaintiff, the sole shareholder and CEO of the defendant company, argued that the contract should be treated as a civil service contract rather than a labor contract. The court held that while the lack of employment contract characteristics meant the relationship was civil, the labor court must still assess the civil claims within the case, merely switching to ordinary civil procedure rules instead of dismissing them for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.
