The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court judgment rejecting his claim for compensation. The plaintiff sought damages from a superior institution for unpaid functional bonuses, arguing the employer was not his direct employer during the relevant period. The court ruled that the employer bore no liability due to a lack of fault and the plaintiff's own decision to withhold the bonus, while also noting the statute of limitations barred any potential wage claims.
