This lawsuit was initiated by the Daile Theater, filing a lawsuit against the Hall for termination of employment.
A total of three cases were brought between the actor and the theater.
In the second case, in which Zāle is suing the Daile Theater for invalidation and reinstatement of the employer’s dismissal, a request was submitted to suspend the proceedings until the court decision in the third proceedings between the actor and the Daile Theater, which is currently in the Riga Regional Court.
The case will be resumed when the third case between the actor and the theater is heard by the appellate instance.
In its third case, on March 23, the Riga Vidzeme Suburb Court decided to dismiss in its entirety Zāle’s claim against Daile Theater for invalidation of the employer’s notice, reinstatement, compensation for average earnings and moral damage, invalidation of the employment contract clause and recognition of the employment contract as concluded for an indefinite period.
The hall filed a cassation appeal against this decision and on June 16 it will be considered by the Riga Regional Court.
At the same time, actress Sarmīte Rubule’s claim against Daile Theater for invalidation of the employer’s notice, reinstatement at work, recovery of average earnings, as well as recovery of compensation for moral damage has been in Daugavpils court in Preiļi since last autumn.
The case was scheduled to be heard at the end of March, but due to the state of emergency in the country, the case has now been withdrawn.
It has already been reported that the theater terminated its working relationship with Zali, Rubulis, Mārtiņš Poči, Aija Dzērvi and Ivars Auziņš last year. The hall was initially restored to work, but was later forced to leave the theater again.
Juris Žagars, the director of the Daile Theater, informed at a press conference last year that the theater is being reorganized in terms of staff. He emphasized that the changes were not significant, but important enough for the Daile Theater to work more economically and efficiently.
