Non-compete obligation ceases upon employee death, preventing heirs from claiming non-payment of severance.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the widow and daughter of a deceased employee against a holding company. The lower courts had awarded severance damages for the non-payment of a non-compete compensation, arguing the employer failed to pay the agreed sum. The Supreme Court ruled that the obligation to pay such compensation is strictly tied to the employee's person and extinguishes upon their death, thereby barring the heirs from claiming the debt.
