The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a claim for employee stock options. The plaintiff argued that a Supreme Court order reinstating her employment status retroactively entitled her to stock options acquired during a period of wrongful unemployment. The Court held that reinstatement orders create employment relations prospectively, not retroactively, and thus the plaintiff was not an employee on the required dates. Consequently, the statutory protection against loss of rights did not apply to grant new entitlements like stock options during the gap in employment.
