Supreme Court dismissed cassation allowing compensation for lost anniversary bonus due to work-related disability.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a lower court's award of compensatory pension including a lost anniversary bonus. The plaintiff, a worker with a work-related disability, argued that she lost potential income from the bonus she would have earned had she remained employed, while the employer contended she failed to prove the employer's inability to rehire her. The court ruled that the procedural dismissal of a separate claim for the bonus did not bar this new claim for damages, as the legal bases and factual prerequisites differed.
