AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding her termination from a judicial assistant position. The lower courts found that her fixed-term employment contract expired automatically after the statutory maximum of three years, as no clear extension to the judge nomination process occurred. The court ruled that her prolonged medical leave did not justify extending the term beyond the legal limit, thus denying her claim for compensation.
