Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a prosecutor's supplementary salary for a press spokesperson role ended upon immediate dismissal from that function. The lower courts found the prosecutor was dismissed without a notice period and denied the salary, but the Supreme Court clarified that such a role is often distinct from the main employment contract. Consequently, the court held that the salary continues to be due until the end of the notice period applicable to the specific supplementary allowance.
