Labor court has jurisdiction over firefighter financial claims from service relations governed by labor code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that the Regional Labor Court in Bydgoszcz is the competent authority to hear Romuald B.'s claim for monetary compensation regarding uncollected uniform items. Although the Regional Court initially transferred the case to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, arguing it involved a service relation rather than an employment one, the Court found this distinction incorrect. The decision established that because specific regulations mandate applying labor code provisions to such service relations, the employee retains the right to pursue these financial claims through the labor court unless explicitly excluded by special administrative procedures.
