Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the union worker's cassation appeal regarding her wrongful dismissal and severance pay claim. The court held that a worker seeking reinstatement must anticipate that success would render previously paid severance as an unjust enrichment subject to return. Consequently, the court ruled that the right to severance does not override the obligation to repay it if the employment relationship is restored.
