Key legal question
Whether the employee's retention of confidential bank documents justified immediate dismissal for just cause.
Extracted holding
Yes. Keeping and producing confidential internal documents after the employment relationship ended breached contractual secrecy duties and justified immediate termination.
Extracted reasoning
The documents contained bank, business, client and risk information covered by secrecy obligations. The employee had been formally warned to return them. Keeping them for possible litigation did not excuse the breach, since he could have preserved a list and sought production in court instead.
