The Court of Cassation, censuring the decision of the trial judges, considers that the remarks made in the leaflet did not constitute an abuse of his\u00a0<\/span>freedom of expression<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by the employee.\u00a0It recalls that only restrictions justified by the nature of the task to be performed and proportionate to the aim sought can be imposed on employees’ freedom of expression.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, for the High Court, the remarks were neither abusive, nor defamatory, nor excessive and the fact that they emanate from a member of the management committee did not have to be taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n
