Supreme Court ruled prosecutor retirement date defaults to delivery date unless retroactive move ensures benefit.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the General Prosecutor's decision, ruling that a prosecutor's retirement date defaults to the delivery date of the decision rather than the doctor's certification date. The prosecutor argued for retroactive effect to maintain continuity of service, while the appellant claimed this violated legal certainty and caused financial loss. The court held that while retroactivity is generally prohibited, it is an exception permitted when it preserves the continuity of benefits for the official.
