The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the liquidator against a labor court awarding severance pay to a former CEO. The court found that the supervisory board, acting through two delegated members, validly authorized the employment contract containing a severance clause. The decision relied on the interpretation that the company's bylaws and supervisory board regulations could define the manner of representing the company in such agreements without violating statutory limits.
