Les salari\u00e9s jouissent tant dans l\u2019enceinte de l\u2019entreprise qu\u2019en dehors de leur libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression. Cette derni\u00e8re n\u2019est pas sans limite et l\u2019abus caract\u00e9ris\u00e9 de cette libert\u00e9 peut \u00eatre sanctionn\u00e9.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
En l’absence d’abus invoqu\u00e9, le licenciement est nul, ainsi qu’il ressort d’un arr\u00eat de la Cour de cassation du 16 f\u00e9vrier 2022 (Cass soc 16 f\u00e9vrier 2022 n\u00b019-17871).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
En l\u2019esp\u00e8ce, un directeur dans le secteur bancaire a \u00e9t\u00e9 licenci\u00e9 pour insuffisance professionnelle, licenciement qu\u2019il a contest\u00e9 judiciairement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Il avait manifest\u00e9, \u00e0 l\u2019occasion du rachat de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, son d\u00e9saccord sur les modalit\u00e9s d\u2019int\u00e9gration de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 absorb\u00e9e au sein de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 absorbante. Il avait notamment soutenu que le transfert de comptes de compensation pouvait constituer une fraude fiscale et avait signal\u00e9 \u00e0 sa Direction les risques encourus sur le plan p\u00e9nal et fiscal. Il avait ajout\u00e9 qu\u2019il ne voulait pas mettre en \u0153uvre l\u2019option envisag\u00e9e compte tenu des risques \u00e9voqu\u00e9s et qu\u2019il fallait le d\u00e9mettre de ses fonctions et le sortir de la ligne de commandement p\u00e9nalement responsable avant sa mise en \u0153uvre.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La Cour d\u2019appel a donn\u00e9 gain de cause au salari\u00e9 consid\u00e9rant que son licenciement \u00e9tait la cons\u00e9quence de l\u2019usage de sa libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression. Le salari\u00e9 a n\u00e9anmoins form\u00e9 un pourvoi car il n\u2019a pas obtenu la nullit\u00e9 de son licenciement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La Cour de Cassation, aux termes de sa d\u00e9cision du 16 f\u00e9vrier 2022 (n\u00b019-17871), a cass\u00e9 l\u2019arr\u00eat d\u2019appel consid\u00e9rant que son licenciement, fond\u00e9 sur l\u2019exercice non abusif par le salari\u00e9 de sa libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression, \u00e9tait nul.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La Haute Cour consid\u00e8re que la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression est une libert\u00e9 fondamentale dont la violation entra\u00eene la nullit\u00e9 du licenciement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pour m\u00e9moire, un juge peut annuler un licenciement si une disposition l\u00e9gale pr\u00e9voit une telle sanction ou en cas de violation d\u2019une libert\u00e9 fondamentale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
