An employer must prove a relevant motive to terminate an employee

An employee was surprisingly terminated after 15 years of employment, due to the deteriorating in her health situation and without the employer raising any argument regarding her professional performance. The Court held that although the employee was the one to file the claim, the burden of proof to show legitimate reasoning for termination is on the employer. The employer did not meet the burden of proof for a relevant motive to terminate and therefore the Court determined that the reason for dismissal was illegal due to her medical condition and temporary physical disability.
