Background

An employee filed a complaint against a company before the Labour Department requesting that the department order the company to pay his salaries. The department referred the dispute to court.

The court held that the case should not be considered.

The employee appealed and the appeal court ruled that the company pay the employee 29217 Dinars.

The company appealed by cassation.

Decision

Before the cassation court the company argued that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation as the court had rejected its argument that the case should not be considered due to the company being late in paying the salary amounts, however the employee did not provide any evidence to support this claim.

The court held that this argument was valid and repealed the ruling.
