The supreme Court, with judg. n. 20677/2016, stated that the worker, in case of downgrading, has to prove the damage, but if the damage can be estimated from relevant factual elements, it can be demonstrated in re ipsa.

 

A bank employee, with a lower tasks than his effective level of competence, has appealed the Court against his downgrading, asking  for  professional & biological damages as well. The employee was demoted for three and a half years, and was dismissed from his work environment: these circumstances highlight the downgrading enough, so no further legal evidence is necessary.
