The court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for invalidity of an employment contract concluded orally. The plaintiff argued that Polish labor law mandates written form for such agreements, while the defendant contended that the law permits oral contracts in specific circumstances. The court ruled that the statutory provisions do not strictly prohibit oral agreements, thereby validating the contract despite the lack of written documentation.
