The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal because the Court of Appeal failed to apply the Constitutional Court's finding that Article 186 of the Social Insurance Law was unconstitutional. The appellant argued the lower court violated the Constitution by granting early retirement benefits based on a now-invalidated regulation. The court ruled that once a norm is declared unconstitutional, all pending proceedings must disregard it, making the lower court's omission a fatal procedural error.
