Question juridique clé
Whether the employer was entitled to summarily dismiss the employee for transferring the domain name to a third company.
Solution extraite
Yes. The transfer breached the employee’s duty of loyalty and trust in a serious way, especially given his managerial position.
Motifs extraits
The domain name belonged to the employer and had economic value. The employee, without authorization and while still working for the company, arranged its free transfer to a company in which he was involved, thereby reducing the employer’s assets and destroying the trust basis required for continued employment.
