Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against the lower court's order to reinstate the employee. The employer argued that the dismissal was justified by economic reasons and the employee's retirement age, while the employee highlighted her recent habilitation and the discriminatory nature of the action. The court ruled that dismissing an employee solely for reaching retirement age is unjustified, as valid reasons must include both the age and the right to a pension.
