Supreme Court dismissed discrimination claim where employees voluntarily resigned for early retirement despite takeover guarantees.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against her employer regarding unequal treatment. The court found that while the company restructured and took over the business under Art. 231 § 1 of the Labor Code, the plaintiff voluntarily resigned to qualify for early retirement benefits, unlike other employees who remained employed. Consequently, the court ruled that granting severance to those who stayed and denying it to those who left voluntarily did not violate the principle of equal treatment.
