The Court of Cassation (labour section, 9 June 2015, no. 11910) once again rules on the legitimacy\u00a0of a second dismissal notified by the employer on the same employee while a challenge\u00a0to the previously notified first dismissal is pending.\u00a0The dispute examined by the Court originates with a dismissal for objective cause within the context of a procedure as per law 223\/91, challenged in relation\u00a0to a sentence of anti-union behaviour based on article 28 of Law 300\/70 on appeal of the\u00a0trade unions.<\/div>\n
The employer company lost the trial in question,\u00a0as the Court had:<\/div>\n
(a) recognised the anti-trade union nature of the employer’s conduct consisting in the failure<\/div>\n
to comply with the annual trade union information notice, established by the industry national<\/div>\n
collective labour contract and insufficient contents of the communication as per article 4, paragraph 3, of law 223\/91;<\/div>\n
(b) declared the eight dismissals following the layoff procedure in process as\u00a0unlawful;<\/div>\n
(c) ordered the reinstatement of the eight wrongfully dismissed employees and sentenced the\u00a0company to pay the total salary compensation matured from the dismissal to the reinstatement\u00a0for each of the eight employees.\u00a0The judgement was confirmed in two separate levels of appeal. Pending the court challenge procedure,\u00a0the company had dismissed, based on different grounds,\u00a0two of the eight workers involved in the aforesaid layoff,\u00a0which grounds were confirmed as legitimate on trial.\u00a0Against the decision of the territorial Court, one of the workers involved in the second dismissal filed an appeal with the Cassation Court, and the company filed a cross- appeal.\u00a0With the first appeal, the worker claimed insufficient due cause on one decisive point of the\u00a0case, as well as the violation of the articles 1418 of the Civil Code and 28 of Law 300\/70,\u00a0since the Appellate Court did not consider the second dismissal void she\u00a0could not be dismissed until cancellation of the first termination she was served with for reduction of personnel. Specifically, recalling the previous ruling of the Court (no. 15093\/09), the \u00a0petitioner underlined how, in the event of two subsequent dismissals, the second does not\u00a0produce effects, if the first one has not been cancelled, with the result that the aim of the\u00a0second dismissal was clearly to avoid the order of reinstatement and thus it is null pursuant to\u00a0article 1418 of the Civil Code.\u00a0The Cassation, after having considered the grounds partly inadmissible because lacking the specific indication of \u201cdecisive fact\u201d, intended as historic fact, the subject of the reason for the appeal\u00a0as per article 360 no. 5 of the Code of Civil Procedure, rejected the reason for the appeal due to lack\u00a0of sufficient grounds. Specifically, the Court pointed out how the case law cited by the \u00a0worker should be considered superseded by later cases, including \u00a0ruling no. 1244\/11, according to which the employer, if he has already dismissed a worker \u00a0for a certain cause or reason, may legitimately notify a second dismissal, based on another\u00a0cause or reason, since the latter is completely autonomous and\u00a0separate from the first.\u00a0Consequently, both of the termination acts are in themselves theoretically suitable for reaching\u00a0the purpose of termination of employment, since the second dismissal should be considered to produce effects\u00a0only if the first is recognised as ineffective or invalid.\u00a0With the second and third grounds for the appeal the worker then introduced mere objections of merit\u00a0regarding the second challenged dismissal, which the Court correctly deemed\u00a0inadmissible in the Court.<\/div>\n
