Passport – Termination – Employment Contract – Swearing Before a Judge – Failure to Attend Court Session
A case involved a dispute between an employee and a company over the giving up of his passport.
Background
An employee filed a case against a company requesting that the court order the company to give up his passport. The employee stated that he had been terminated from his employment with the company but it refused to relinquish his passport. The employee requested that the company's manager swear before the judge.
The court rejected the case.
The employee appealed and the appeal court upheld the ruling.
The employee appealed by cassation.
Decision
The cassation court repealed the ruling and requested that the manager swear before the judge, but he failed to attend the court's session. The court therefore abandoned the appealed ruling and ruled that the company give up the employee's passport.
