Key legal question
Whether the employee had just cause to terminate the employment contract immediately after the employer removed a major portfolio and changed his remuneration situation.
Extracted holding
Yes. The unilateral withdrawal of a substantial portfolio without compensation or adjustment of targets seriously affected the employee's personality rights and made continued employment no longer exigible.
Extracted reasoning
The withdrawal concerned about one quarter of the insured premium volume entrusted to him, was imposed unilaterally, was not justified by business needs, and was not supported by proven misconduct. This constituted a grave breach justifying immediate resignation.
