Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a social insurance office's refusal of early retirement to a journalist. The applicant argued he met age and service requirements but was not covered by a collective agreement at the time of retirement, while the court held the collective agreement clause merely defined the profession. The court reasoned that interpreting the requirement as dependent on an active collective agreement would create legal inequality and uncertainty, thus granting the pension based on the nature of the work performed.
