Supreme Court dismissed appeal; unpaid leave expired when mayor's term ended, requiring new leave request.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding his right to return to work after serving as a mayor. The lower courts ruled that the plaintiff failed to request unpaid leave for his subsequent term as deputy mayor within the statutory seven-day window following the expiration of his mayor's mandate. The court held that the mayor's and deputy mayor's positions constitute distinct mandates, necessitating a fresh leave request, and the plaintiff's failure to do so caused the employment relationship to terminate. Consequently, the Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's decision that the plaintiff was not entitled to reinstatement.
