The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding a fixed travel allowance. The plaintiff argued the allowance should strictly match the statutory diet rate for trips to Germany, but the lower court awarded a lower flat rate based on the absence of food expenses. The court held that the statutory regulation permits a flat rate to be higher or lower than the standard diet amount, thereby upholding the lower court's decision.
