Supreme Court dismissed cassation as it cannot create new pension rights for male conductors via judicial interpretation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a male conductor against his denial of early retirement benefits. The lower courts had granted the pension based on the statutory definition of work in a special character, which included conductors. The Supreme Court ruled that it lacks the authority to interpret the law to create a new, gender-specific age threshold for men that does not exist in the current regulations. Consequently, the court held that the appellant's request effectively demanded the creation of a new legal norm, a power reserved exclusively for the Constitutional Tribunal.
