Supreme Court rules contract cannot expand share rights and pre-contractual misconduct allows damages.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a government-bank agreement could expand employee share ownership rights or alter statutory employment terms. The plaintiff argued that issuing a certificate to an unqualified employee created a liability for damages due to reliance on the false list. The court held that the agreement could not change statutory definitions but recognized that pre-contractual misconduct violating good faith principles under Article 415 of the Civil Code could justify compensation for the negative contractual interest.
