Supreme Court dismisses appeal; employee's union election benefit reduces severance pay for dismissal.

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment and remanded the case for a new decision on costs. The plaintiff, an education inspector, sought reinstatement and severance pay after being dismissed due to organizational restructuring, arguing he was entitled to special protection after being elected to the trade union committee. The Court held that the plaintiff's election to the union committee, which occurred shortly before the dismissal, constituted an abuse of rights intended to secure job security, thereby reducing the severance amount by the salary earned during the leave period. Consequently, the appeal was rejected, and the matter was returned to the district court for final ruling.
