Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court judgment ordering the pension fund to pay her late husband's account balance. The plaintiff argued that withholding half the funds violated her property rights, while the fund contended the retention was a statutory obligation for social security purposes. The court ruled that the withheld portion does not constitute property rights but rather a social security benefit regulated by law, thus upholding the fund's position.
