BCC 462/2005

This case involved whether an employee of a university had been fairly dismissed. The individual who had appointed the employee and the fact they were on probation impacted the approach to dismissal.

Background

An employee filed a case against a defendant before the court requesting the dismissal of the decision through which he was dismissed from his job in a university.

The court ruled that the decision should be dismissed.

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.

Decision

The defendant appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling has erred in the application of law and said that the court established its ruling based on the argument that the dismissal decision should be issued by the chief of the university though the employee was appointed to his job by the deputy chief of the university for a probation period of six months and that he was dismissed from his job under Article 7/6 of the Regulation of the University.
