Supreme Court allows severance pay for fixed-term employees receiving disability pension after illness during employment.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a fixed-term employee entitled to a disability pension after termination receives severance pay. The plaintiff, who was already an invalid before employment, became unable to work due to illness diagnosed during his tenure and received a disability pension after a continuous period of sick leave. The court ruled that the right to severance arises upon pension receipt and holds regardless of the employee's pre-existing disability status or the fixed-term nature of the contract.
