Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the employer incurred contractual liability by giving false negative references about the worker
Decisione estratta
Yes. The negative statements were inaccurate and capable in the ordinary course of deterring prospective employers.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the cantonally established facts showed no other concurrent cause for the prolonged unemployment; the adequacy of causation was met because the remarks were objectively suited to obstruct hiring.
