This case involved a claim by an individual for money due in an employment case. It was wrongly argued the court had made a mistake by presuming the payment had been made in a previous ruling involving the Social Insurance Law. The key point was that a case should not be filed two years after a final salary settlement.
Background
A claimant filed a case against an institution and requested the court to order the institution to pay him an amount of money according to an expert report in a labour case No. 213/1997.
The court stated it had no mandate to consider the case and referred it to the court of appeal.
The court of appeal dismissed the appeal made by the claimant.
