Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by employees seeking additional compensation for early contract termination. The court held that collective agreement provisions are not absolute and must pass constitutional proportionality tests regarding freedom of collective bargaining. Consequently, the court applied the principle of benefit, selecting the statutory severance payment over the collective agreement's severance because it was more advantageous to the employees.
