Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that denied him a pension based on specific employment periods. The appellant argued these periods should count as contributory time, but the court found he was not registered as unemployed during these times. Consequently, the court ruled that periods of unpaid leave do not constitute unemployment periods for pension calculation purposes.
