Fixed-term teacher contract without statutory grounds automatically converts to indefinite-term employment under Polish law.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a teacher's fixed-term contract without statutory grounds automatically converts to an indefinite-term employment relationship. The lower courts initially dismissed the teacher's claim, arguing that the school's teaching organization justified the fixed-term arrangement under the Teachers' Charter. The Supreme Court rejected this view, establishing that such contracts are legally invalid if statutory conditions are not met and must be treated as indefinite-term employment.
