The Timișoara Court of Appeal allowed our appeal in an employment dispute and ordered the employer to pay the damages claimed for unlawful termination of employment.
The employer had unilaterally terminated employment on the pretext of a probationary period. We showed that the employee was not in fact on probation and that the statutory conditions for termination on that basis were not met.
The Timiș Tribunal found the termination notice unlawful and annulled it. However, it refused the damages claimed, incorrectly considering that an internal employer decision continued to have legal effect.
On appeal, we demonstrated that this interpretation was wrong and secured compensation equal to indexed, increased and updated wages and other entitlements the employee would have received since the unlawful dismissal.
The judgment is final.
The client was assisted and represented by lawyer Mihai Bunu.
