AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling denying her severance pay. The court found that the plaintiff, while employed, simultaneously operated a sole practitioner law firm, engaging in legal services for profit. Consequently, the court held that this concurrent activity constituted a business operation, legally excluding her from the statutory right to severance compensation under the relevant group dismissal act.
