Supreme Court quashes lower court ruling on overlapping wage increase rights under collective agreement and statutory system. Parties argued for cumulative benefits based on distinct legal sources. Court held interpretation must determine if both apply simultaneously. Verdict: partially_allowed

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's decision regarding wage increases for nurses, which had failed to address conflicting statutory and collective agreement provisions. Plaintiffs argued that two separate legal bases for wage hikes should be cumulatively applied, while the defendant hospital contended for a single benefit. The court ruled that the lower court erred by not interpreting the collective agreement's specific clauses in light of the distinct scopes of the statutory system and the agreement, thereby denying potentially valid dual entitlements.
