A Dutch subdistrict court ruled that an employee who emailed a terminated colleague’s personnel file to a personal address was validly dismissed for cause, forfeiting €7,500 in transition allowance. The dismissal converted a pre-agreed settlement into a summary termination (ontslag op staande voet) that strips the statutory severance payment. The employee, unable to return to work due to permanent illness following the summary dismissal, received no additional remedy from the court.
