Question juridique clé
Whether the employee's conduct on 1 December 2006 constituted just cause for immediate dismissal under employment law.
Solution extraite
Yes. The threatening gesture with the cutter was sufficiently serious to destroy the relationship of trust and justified immediate termination without prior warning.
Motifs extraits
The act was sudden, objectively dangerous, and aimed at the supervisor's face. The employer had to protect employees' personality rights, and the supervisor's attempt to calm the situation did not excuse the conduct.
