     Lex Traditia





    Non-compliance with procedural due process, not invalidate dismissal, remedy is payment of nominal
    damages.   In Agabon v. National Labor Relations Commission, we upheld as valid the dismissal for just
    cause although it did not comply with the requirements of procedural due process. We ruled that while
    the procedural infirmity cannot be cured, it should not invalidate the dismissal. However, the employer
    should be held liable for non-compliance with the procedural requirements of due process. The violation
    of Buguat's right to statutory due process by the petitioner warrants the payment of indemnity in the
    form of nominal damages in the amount of P30,000, which is appropriate under the circumstances.
