Supreme Court dismissed appeal; four-year pre-retirement protection applies only to dismissals effective after June 1, 2004.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a termination of her employment contract with a school. The lower court found that the employer's dismissal, effective May 12, 2004, did not violate the four-year pre-retirement protection period because the new law extending this period to four years only became effective on June 1, 2004. The court clarified that the protection period begins from the date the dismissal becomes effective, not from the date the notice was issued, meaning the four-year rule did not apply to this specific termination.
