Question juridique clé
Whether the immediate dismissal for cause under Art. 337 CO was justified after the employee struck his supervisor.
Solution extraite
Yes. The assault, committed against a blameless supervisor during a calm handover of the notice, seriously broke the relationship of trust and made continued employment intolerable.
Motifs extraits
The employee committed at least a factual assault (via de facto) in a non-provoked setting. Even considering his personal difficulties, the incident was a new and particularly serious breach, separate from the prior ordinary termination reasons.
