AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that voided an employment settlement agreement due to a mistake. The court held that while the agreement was invalid ab initio, this did not retroactively terminate the employment relationship or the employer's liability for termination. Consequently, the case was remanded to the Court of Appeal for a new decision on the employer's liability.
