Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for a severance payment, ruling that the employer was not liable for the termination. The plaintiff argued that her fixed-term contract ended without notice, yet she had already received a disability pension for months before leaving. The court held that receiving a disability pension while employed precludes the legal link between termination and pension acquisition required for severance. Consequently, the termination was not considered a transition to the pension, and the statutory conditions for the payment were not met.
