The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for unpaid bonus payments, ruling that the burden of proof remained with the plaintiff. Although the plaintiff alleged receiving a monthly cash bonus of over 7,000 PLN, the court found his unverified documents and witness testimonies insufficient to establish this fact. Consequently, the plaintiff lost the case and was ordered to pay the defendant's legal costs.
