A court awarded a retired doctor compensation for unused vacation days, citing EU law. The doctor received over €14,900 for 76 days of leave and €1,000 for emotional distress. The ruling was based on European Court of Justice precedents, emphasizing the right to paid annual leave as a fundamental social right. The court found the doctor's unused leave was not due to his own fault. This decision may pave the way for similar claims by other public employees who retired with untaken vacation days.
