Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court ruled in favor of the employee, ordering the employer to pay 8,550 PLN in severance damages. The plaintiff argued that the employer's citation of organizational changes as the reason for dismissal lacked specific criteria and was therefore invalid. The court found the employer's explanation too general and failed to demonstrate a proper selection process, leading to the award of damages.
