A panel of three judges at the Labor Arbitration Tribunal (LAT) annulled an indictment previously issued by the Court of Appeal against Diana B., an employee associated with the “Eurocash1” company. The charges related to minor infringements concerning personal health and alleged abuse. The LAT panel ultimately upheld the judgment rendered by the initial court, which had dismissed the case on the grounds that the actions in question were considered within the scope of professional duties.
The judges determined that the appellate court had committed a fundamental violation of evidence rules. Specifically, in its assessment of the defense arguing that the actions were part of professional duties, the appellate body failed to adhere to established precedent set by the cassation court. The ruling addressed a specific incident involving alleged misconduct by a “Maxima” employee, which reportedly included the striking of an individual lying on the floor.
This decision underscores the legal distinction between actionable misconduct and actions taken while executing official job responsibilities. The panel’s decision effectively confirmed that the original determination—that the employee’s actions were permissible under the scope of her duties—remained valid. This ruling emphasizes the strict procedural requirements that appellate bodies must follow when reviewing criminal liability claims, particularly when the actions involve personnel, such as a security guard, operating within a professional capacity.
The judgment serves as a clarification on the legal parameters governing employee conduct within corporate settings.
