Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a widow seeking compensation for her deceased husband's unacquired preferential share rights. The lower courts found that the husband, who died before privatization, never exercised his right to purchase shares nor did he meet the specific criteria for a valid expectation of such a right. Consequently, the court held that these rights did not enter the estate and could not be inherited under the relevant privatization statutes.
