Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's claim for back pay after ruling that a school director cannot unilaterally reduce a teacher's salary under Article 39 of the Teachers' Charter. The court found that while the director had previously overpaid the teacher, the specific mechanism for salary adjustment in the Charter does not cover reductions for prior overpayments. Consequently, the court held that such a reduction requires a formal termination of employment conditions with a mandatory notice period, effectively dismissing the request for immediate salary correction.
