Abstract

This ruling reiterates the doctrine established by the Supreme Court in November 2024, according to which the opportunity to defend oneself prior to disciplinary dismissal guaranteed by Article 7 of ILO Convention No. 158 is only enforceable from November 2024 onwards. This ruling does not clarify the consequences of an employer non-compliance with this formal guarantee. In this paper the unfair dismissal is defended on the basis of analogy iuris.
