Supreme Court allows extraordinary review to determine if a previously unremunerated re-employed retiree is entitled to a one-time severance payment.

The Supreme Court granted an extraordinary review to overturn lower court rulings that denied a severance payment to a re-employed retiree. The plaintiff argued he had not received a prior severance, while the employer contended the law barred such payments for retirees returning to work. The Court ruled that the statutory provision only excludes a second payment if one was previously received, thereby remanding the case to clarify the employee's prior entitlement status.
