Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court partially dismissed the plaintiff's appeal against the lower court's judgment regarding employment termination and damages. The lower court awarded compensation for wrongful dismissal but rejected the claim for non-compete damages, citing normal workforce fluctuation and the lack of a specified monetary amount in the non-compete clause. The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the non-compete claim but allowed the compensation for non-payment because the plaintiff's inability to work due to illness justified retaining the statutory minimum damages.
