ARR\u00caT N\u00b0 74 DU 26 JUILLET 2017<\/p>\n

LA SOCI\u00c9T\u00c9 COMMERCIALE SOULEYMANE TIRERA, DITE SOCOSTI c\/ BASSIROU SOW<\/p>\n

CONTRAT DE TRAVAIL, RUPTURE \u2013 LICENCIEMENT \u2013 MOTIF L\u00c9GITIME \u2013 APPLICATIONS DIVERSES<\/p>\n

L\u2019abandon de poste ne peut \u00eatre retenu comme motif de licenciement d\u00e8s lors qu\u2019il est \u00e9tabli que c\u2019est l\u2019employeur qui a interdit verbalement au travailleur l\u2019acc\u00e8s au service et aux v\u00e9hicules.<\/p>\n

La Cour supr\u00eame,<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s en avoir d\u00e9lib\u00e9r\u00e9 conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la loi :<\/p>\n

Attendu, selon l\u2019arr\u00eat attaqu\u00e9 (Saint-Louis, 22 d\u00e9cembre 2015, n\u00b046), que Bassirou S OW, chauffeur en service \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 commerciale Tirera, dite SOCOSTI, licenci\u00e9 pour abandon de poste, a saisi le tribunal du travail pour entendre d\u00e9clarer la rupture abusive et condamner son employeur au paiement de diverses sommes d\u2019argent ;<\/p>\n

Sur le moyen unique, en ses deux branches, pris de la d\u00e9naturation et de la violation de l\u2019article L56 du code du travail :<\/p>\n

Attendu que la SOCOSTI fait grief \u00e0 l\u2019arr\u00eat attaqu\u00e9, d\u2019une part de dire que le lice n- ciement est abusif et, d\u2019autre part, de la condamner au paiement de dommages et int\u00e9- r\u00eats pour licenciement abusif, alors selon le moyen ; 1\u00b0 qu\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019un abandon de poste constat\u00e9 par proc\u00e8s-verbal d\u2019huissier de justice du 6 avril 2011 et que Bassirou S OW n\u2019a jamais produit une lettre de licenciement pour jus- tifier ses r\u00e9clamations sur cette base ; 2\u00b0 que quatre griefs sont retenus \u00e0 l\u2019encontre de Bassirou S OW, \u00e0 savoir le d\u00e9tourne- ment qu\u2019il \u00e9tait en train de rembourser, le vol du moteur d\u2019un camion, la disparition de la somme de 800.000 frs du v\u00e9hicule qu\u2019il avait en charge et le constat de l\u2019abandon de poste ;<\/p>\n

Mais attendu qu\u2019ayant relev\u00e9 que la SOCOSTI a invoqu\u00e9 comme motif du licenciement un abandon de poste attest\u00e9 par proc\u00e8s-verbal du 6 avril 2013 et que des t\u00e9moins, entendus au cours de l\u2019enqu\u00eate, ont affirm\u00e9 que l\u2019employeur avait interdit verbalement \u00e0 Bassirou S OW l\u2019acc\u00e8s au service et aux v\u00e9hicules, la cour d\u2019Appel qui, faisant usage de son pouvoir d\u2019appr\u00e9ciation des moyens de preuve soumis \u00e0 son examen, a retenu que l\u2019abandon de poste, seul motif soulev\u00e9 par l\u2019employeur n\u2019est pas \u00e9tabli et que la rupture est abusive, a fait une exacte application de la loi ;<\/p>\n

Par ces motifs :<\/p>\n

Rejette le pourvoi ;<\/p>\n
