Supreme Court dismisses appeal, allowing termination of employment contract by mutual agreement with a future end date.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking a severance payment based on a group dismissal regulation. The employee argued that the employer committed fraud by signing a termination agreement in early 2001 for a date much later than the agreement's signing, while the group dismissal regulation entered into force in April 2001. The court ruled that there are no legal obstacles to terminating a contract by mutual agreement with a future end date and that the agreement was not contrary to social norms given its favorable terms for the employee.
