Supreme Court dismisses appeal, upholding that hiring a replacement does not make reinstatement impossible or pointless under labor law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court's decision to reject a request for reinstatement. The plaintiff argued that the employer's failure to apply Article 45 § 2 of the Labor Code was an error, while the employer contended that hiring a new employee did not render reinstatement pointless. The court ruled that hiring a replacement is insufficient to deem reinstatement impossible or pointless without further specific circumstances, and since the employer did not raise this issue during the proceedings, the lower court acted correctly.
