Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a judgment ordering the return of excessive bonuses and premiums paid to a cooperative manager. The lower courts found that while the base salary lacked legal basis, the additional bonuses and premiums were quasi-alimentary in nature. The court ruled that returning these specific benefits would violate the principles of social coexistence, thereby preventing the claimant from invoking the abuse of right defense.
