Supreme Court allows employee interest claim in employer bankruptcy despite statutory priority rules.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Finland allowed the employee's claim for interest on wages in the employer's bankruptcy proceedings. The employee argued that interest should be paid as a priority claim under the Bankruptcy Act, while the administrator contended it was subordinate to other secured claims. The court ruled that the specific priority rules for wages do not automatically exclude interest claims, permitting them to be treated as part of the wage priority.
