Question juridique clé
Whether additional contractual benefits (housing, insurance, social charges) had to be compensated as lost remuneration after wrongful summary dismissal.
Solution extraite
The employee is entitled to the positive contractual interest, but only actual costs that would have arisen under the contract are compensable for these benefits; no further payment was due where no corresponding expense was shown.
Motifs extraits
The contract was interpreted as covering only actually incurred costs for housing and insurance-type benefits. If the employee incurred no such costs after leaving Switzerland, there was no lost expense to reimburse. The court also noted that the claim could not be expanded under the mitigation/deduction rule where no expenditure existed.
