BCC 276, 299/2020
This case involved the validity of the dismissal of a hospital employee. A key point was the employee had failed to obtain the necessary license to work as a doctor.
Background
An employee filed a case against a hospital before the court. She requested the court to order the hospital to pay compensation. She said that the hospital had dismissed her from her job.
The court ruled that the hospital should pay the employee compensation of 5990 Dinars and the value of travel ticket.
The employee and the hospital appealed the ruling before the court of cassation.
Decision
Appeal No. 276/2020:
The hospital said in its grounds of appeal that the ruling had erred in the application of law and had insufficient evidence of causation. The hospital said that the court had ordered them to pay compensation though the working relationship between the two parties had ended as the employee did not hold a licence to work as doctor.
The court said that this argument was valid. The court said that the case documents revealed that the employee had failed to receive the required licence to work as a doctor.
The court repealed the appealed ruling.
