Shadows cast over the Judgment of the Supreme Court, Room 4, of March 14, 2018 (Rec. Unit 3297/2016) that determines that the temporary disability benefit should not be calculated for the purpose of recognising documented economic losses resulting from the legal situation of cessation of activity

Abstract

In this study, the resolution adopted in the sentence which is subject to comment is analysed from a critical point of view. On the one hand, the function of the appeal for reversal for doctrine unification is addressed as a possible reason for not admitting the requests for benefits for cessation of activity to be processed, within the very framework of the Supreme Court. On the other hand, the function of the temporary disability subsidy as a substitute for employment income due to the inability to work and the importance of this function for the purposes of the issue at stake in the aforementioned sentence is analysed.
