Supreme Court dismissed appeal; contract terms override statutory appointment rules for severance pay eligibility.

The Supreme Court dismissed Stefan S.'s cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that denied him severance pay. The court clarified that Article 18 § 2 of the Labor Code does not prevent parties from regulating their rights and obligations in an employment contract even when the relationship is based on appointment. Consequently, the court held that the second-instance court correctly rejected the claim because the statutory conditions for the severance were not met, regardless of the contract's specific terms.
