The Supreme Court partially allowed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a management bonus while dismissing the defendant's appeal. The court found that the supervisory board's resolution authorizing a bonus regulation constituted a unilateral declaration of will that supplemented the employment contract's terms. Consequently, the regulation became binding without needing to be enacted as a source of labor law, as it was incorporated into the contract via an annex.
