That conclusion, in fact, would have entailed the unreasonable consequence that, in the face of dismissal announced before the end of the working period, employees of employers with more that fifteen employees would be entitled to \u00abattenuated\u00bb reinstatement protection while employees of smaller employers would be entitled to full reinstatement protection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"atext\">Consequently, the Court of Appeal brought the case at hand back to the provision of Article 8, Law. 604\/1966, condemning the company to the payment of six monthly salaries. \nHearing the issue, the Court of Cassation recalled that dismissal announced before the end of the protected period is \u00abnull and void for breach of the mandatory rule due to Article 2110 (2) of the Italia Civil Code\u00bb, referring in this regard to the rulling of the Unified Section\u2019s judgment no. 12568\/2018 which had already resolved the contrast that had emerged within the jurisprudence of legitimacy  on the case in question, between the thesis of the nullity of the dismissal or its temporary ineffectiveness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"atext\">According to the Unified Section, such dismissal although falling within the \u00abother cases of nullity provided for by law\u00bb due to paragraph 1 of Article 18, is included in paragraph 7 only quoad poenam, i.e. for the purpose of applying the less stringent remedy such as the attenuated reinstatement protection. Recalling that Article 8, L. 604\/1966 governs only the consequences of dismissal that is unlawful because it is announced in the absence of a just cause or justified reason, the Court of Appeal affirmed the error in law of the thesis accepted by the Court of Appeal. Having ruled out the applicability of Article 8, Law 604\/1966, the Court of Cassation ruled that Article 18 (1) could not be applied either, for the same reasons put forward by the Court of Appeal, pointing out that otherwise, by guaranteeing greater protection to employees of small companies compared to workers under regime of real protection, there would be a \u00abclear unreasonableness in the system and a disharmony in the system of protection in the event of dismissal\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"atext\">According to the Supreme Court, therefore, the dismissal in violation of Article 2110 of the Civil Code remains subject to the general discipline of the invalid dismissal, given \u00abthe irrelevance, with respect to the case in question, of the selective criterion based on the number of employees which, if it can justify different levels of protection in the event of dismissal voidable can not legitimise a diversification of the consequences of dismissal void\u00bb. According to the Court, this interpretation is the only one compatible with the need to ensure reasonableness to the system of protections in the case of dismissal, already referred to by Constitutional Court in the rulings adopted on issues relating to Law. no. 92\/2012 and Legislative Decree no. 23\/2015.<\/p>\n<p class=\"atext\">The Court concludes by affirming the following principle of law: \u00abin the system outlined by Article 18 of Law no. 300\/1970, as emended by Law. no. 92\/2012, dismissal announced in breach of Article 2110 (2), of the Civil Code, is null and void and its consequences are governed, according to a special penalty regime, by paragraph 7, which in turn refers to paragraph 4, of the same Article 18,whatever the number of employees employed by the employer\u00bb.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pubblicato su Sole24Ore &#8211; NT Lavoro &#8211; il 23\/09\/2022 La tutela reintegratoria \u00abattenuata\u00bb ex articolo 18, comma 4, trova applicazione in caso di licenziamento intimato in violazione dell\u2019articolo 2110, comma 2, del Codice civile a prescindere dal numero dei dipendenti in forza al datore di lavoro.
