Employee must return severance pay if dismissal grounds are invalid under collective dismissal law.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal, upholding the lower court's order for the return of severance pay. The employee had challenged the validity of her dismissal, which was based on collective dismissal grounds, and successfully obtained damages for wrongful termination. The court ruled that because the dismissal grounds were invalid, the severance pay became unjustly enriched and must be returned, even though the employee had already received compensation for the wrongful dismissal.
