Key legal question
Whether the compensation for abusive dismissal under Art. 336a OR was set too low.
Extracted holding
The cantonal court misassessed the employer's fault in particular; the case must be returned for a new assessment of compensation.
Extracted reasoning
The employer first used an unlawful wage deduction and then, after reversing it, followed with an abusive dismissal in reaction to the employee's lawful demand for repayment. This misconduct could not be treated as only minor. The employee's own contributory fault, however, could be taken into account.
