Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

The petitioner sought judicial review of an administrative decision that denied them early eligibility for pension benefits based on their length of service, as the administrative body interpreted the governing statute to require continuous service without a break, which the petitioner had. The court reasoned that the plain language of the statute did not explicitly mandate continuous service for benefit accrual and, in the absence of such clear legislative intent, adopted a construction favoring the petitioner, holding that the break in service did not negate previously accrued eligibility time, thus reversing the denial.
