Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the termination of the public employment was unlawful or arbitrary because the employer failed to exhaust milder measures and breached its duty of care in a workplace conflict.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The dismissal was not arbitrary in its result. Although the employer insufficiently fulfilled its duty of care, the offer of a comparable alternative position made the termination acceptable overall.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that a serious workplace conflict can justify dismissal in the public sector, but the authority must exercise its discretion in line with proportionality and the employer's duty of care. Here, the employer reacted too late and too sparingly, yet the offered reassignment to a new position was capable of ending the conflict and mitigated the dismissal's severity.
