Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a claim for vacation leave from 1994. The lower courts found that the plaintiff failed to pursue her claim within the three-year limitation period, which began when the leave became enforceable. Although the employer incorrectly credited the leave to 1995 instead of 1994, the court ruled that the plaintiff's inaction constituted a waiver of her right to challenge this error.
