Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking early retirement due to job reduction. The Social Insurance Institution and lower courts found that the applicant failed to prove a reduction in staff, noting the employer maintained four employees in the months surrounding his one-month tenure. Consequently, the statutory conditions for early retirement were not met, and the claim was rejected.
