Background

An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order the company to pay his dues.

The court refused to consider the case.

The employee appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.

The employee appealed by cassation.

Decision

Before the cassation court the employee argued that the ruling had erred in the application of law as the company had given up the legal deadline of one year to file a case.

The court held that this argument was valid as the case documents revealed that the chief of the board of directors of the company had extended the legal period in which employees could file their case.

The court therefore repealed the ruling.
