English translation of the principle

Termination of the appellant's service for absence from work for fifteen days. Establishment that she reported her illness from the beginning of the absence and was authorized to rest for one week. Deduction of this period from the period of absence. The remaining period does not reach the threshold required to regard it as a presumption of resignation. Consequently: the decision terminating service was issued contrary to law. Its effect: the administrative authority's liability for its fault, which resulted in material and moral damage warranting compensation.
