Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a disabled employee seeking reinstatement to her postal clerk position. The lower court had ordered her return to work, but the Supreme Court found the employer's argument regarding the impracticality of her duties at the specific window valid. The court held that the EU Directive on equal treatment does not establish special protection against dismissal and emphasized the employer's right to organize work structures without disproportionate burden.
