Questão jurídica principal
Whether the refusal of severance violated equal treatment under Article 8 of the Constitution because employees under and over 60 were treated differently.
Decisão extraída
The constitutional complaint on this point was not examined further because, under the applicable city personnel rules, severance was excluded where the employee bore any fault for the termination.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that the claimant shared responsibility for the breakdown of the employment relationship through improper demands, threats, and other incidents that seriously impaired cooperation; this already precluded any severance entitlement, making age-comparison arguments irrelevant.
