Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the summary dismissal under the Federal Personnel Act was justified by the employee's conduct and circumstances.
Decisione estratta
The dismissal did not have to be examined further in the employee's favour; even if questioned, the appeal could not improve his position because the lower court's outcome could not be made worse for him.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Supreme Court emphasized the bar on reformatio in peius and held that, on the facts as assessed, the summary dismissal could not lead to a shorter employment period or loss of compensation in this appeal.
