Questão jurídica principal
Whether the severance agreement remained binding and whether the severance payment was due despite the suspended notice period
Decisão extraída
The payment was not due because the agreement made it conditional on the employment relationship actually ending on 2002-06-30, which did not occur.
Fundamentação extraída
The clause was clear and had to be interpreted objectively under the trust principle; no contractual gap existed. The employee benefited from the statutory suspension of the notice period and continued salary protection, but that did not eliminate the agreed condition.
