Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal court erred by finding a tacit agreement to reduce salary starting 1 January 2000
Solution extraite
The finding could not stand because a June 22, 2000 letter showed the employee had objected; the case had to be remanded for fuller fact-finding on whether there was a tacit agreement.
Motifs extraits
The appellate court overlooked a relevant piece of evidence. Whether silence could amount to acceptance depended on the surrounding circumstances, which were insufficiently established.
