Key legal question
Whether the 2003 social plan applied to the employee's dismissal
Extracted holding
The appellate court's finding of economic dismissal was set aside and the case was remanded for reconsideration of whether the dismissal was primarily economic and whether the social plan applied.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court held that the cantonal court failed to discuss a relevant salary comparison and thus ignored evidence capable of affecting the outcome, which amounted to arbitrary appreciation of evidence.
