Questão jurídica principal
Whether the false statements made during hiring constituted an important reason for immediate dismissal under Art. 337 OR.
Decisão extraída
Yes. As a director-level employee, the false statements about prior employment and experience objectively destroyed the trust basis required for continued employment.
Fundamentação extraída
The court applied a stricter standard for managerial staff and held that the employer's trust in the employee's honesty was essential regardless of later work performance; the lies were contract-relevant and gravely breached precontractual loyalty.
