Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the employee had a spontaneous duty to disclose that he lacked the HTL engineering diploma when concluding the employment contract.
Decisione estratta
No. Even for a managerial post, the applicant need not volunteer information if he may assume the employer already knows it or can easily ascertain it.
Motivazione estratta
The scope of the applicant's disclosure duty depends on the position; it is broader for higher positions, but there is no duty to point out facts the employer can discover itself or may be presumed to know. The employer had the relevant documents and its own hiring consultant had already treated the applicant as an engineer; the applicant could therefore assume the issue was known or not decisive.
