A ruling compelling AVA MINA Hospital in Port Said to reinstate a worker after rejecting it’s decision to dismiss him

In its hearing on April 21, 2024, the Court of Appeal in Port Said rejected the dismissal of “Ashraf A R” from AVA MINA and ordered the hospital to reinstate compensate him for his arbitrary dismissal.

The plaintiff had been employed by the hospital under an unspecified duration employment relationship since 2017, then the hospital’s management arbitrarily prevented him from working in November 2020, in violation of the law. Thus, the worker filed a complaint to the labor office requesting his return to work.

The hospital’s management issued warnings to the worker regarding his absence, and filed a complaint with the labor office requesting to dismiss him. The dispute was referred to the competent labor court, then the lawsuit was scheduled for judgment. Accordingly, the court ruled to reject the original and sub lawsuits.

The plaintiff appealed the judgment. The Egyptian Center, acting as an attorney on behalf of the worker, also appealed the judgment. The appeal filed by the woker under No.161 for the Judicial Year 64, Labor, Port Said, and the appeal filed by the employer registered under No.158 for the Judicial Year 64, Labor, Port Said, were merged into one judgment. The lawsuit was immediately pursued until the court ruled on April 21, 2024, with its aforementioned judgment.
