An hour is an hour. 59 minutes is not an hour. So technically you didn't meet the requirements for callling off an hour ahead of time, and can be disciplined for that.
If this was your only infraction of company rules, and you were a good employee otherwise, I'd be surprised if you were severely disciplined, or fired, over this.
A court of law? What are you talking about? How did the court get into this? In pretty much every state, "employment at will" is in effect unless you have an employment or union contract. This means you can be fired for any reason or for no reason as long as it's not due to your membership in a protected class.
