Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal seeking reinstatement to his position. The court found that reappointing an associate professor via open competition did not restart the nine-year statutory deadline for obtaining a habilitation degree, as the underlying evaluation process remained unchanged. Consequently, the plaintiff failed to meet the time limit, and the termination of his employment was deemed a lawful consequence of this academic failure.
