Supreme Court dismisses cassation, ruling pension severance applies when employee initiates early retirement regardless of employer consent.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a lower court's award of pension severance. The plaintiff, an employee with 40 years of service, unilaterally initiated a mutual termination agreement to secure early retirement, which the employer did not actively consent to. The court held that the statutory right to severance depends solely on the employee's objective transition to retirement, not the employer's subjective awareness or approval of the employee's intent.
