Supreme Court dismisses reinstatement claim for employee lacking qualifications and invalidates retroactive orders.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against a lower court order reinstating an employee to her previous position and awarding back pay. The employee, Ewa M., had been dismissed after being elected to a local council, but the court found she lacked the specific qualifications required for her former roles. Consequently, the court ruled that ordering reinstatement to a position she was unqualified for would constitute an abuse of rights and that such orders cannot be retroactive to dates prior to the judgment.
