English translation of the principle

Grounds for dismissing a worker. The judge of merits independently assesses them.

Arabic original
مبررات فصل العامل. يستقل قاضي الموضوع بتقديرها كفاية إخلال العامل بالتزاماته لتحققها دون اشتراط مراعاة ما يرد في لائحة الجزاءات أو صدور حكم بالإدانة أو وقوع خسارة جسيمة لصاحب العمل.
