The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former employee seeking reinstatement after dismissal. The lower court had ordered her return to work, reasoning that she was totally disabled and entitled to a pension, despite the employer citing job liquidation. The Supreme Court ruled that Article 39 of the Labor Code's protection against dismissal applies only if a pension authority has issued a formal decision confirming the right to a pension. Since no such administrative decision existed for the plaintiff, the statutory protection was inapplicable, and the employer's dismissal was lawful.
