Supreme Court dismisses cassation, ruling pension severance applies to public officials transitioning to retirement regardless of employment status.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Social Insurance Fund against a lower court awarding pension severance to a public official. The plaintiff argued she could not receive severance while still employed, but the court held the statute grants this right exhaustively without requiring immediate termination of the employment contract. Consequently, the court ruled that the severance must be paid upon the definitive establishment of her pension status, which coincides with the end of her employment relationship.
