Questão jurídica principal
Whether the dismissal was abusive because it was based on the employee's illness.
Decisão extraída
The second, valid dismissal was not causally based on illness; after expiry of the statutory protection period, dismissal for an illness impairing work capacity was permissible.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the factual findings excluded any causal link to the illness. Under the system of employment protection, a personal characteristic such as illness does not bar dismissal once the temporal protection period has expired.
