The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a 12-month notice period clause in an indefinite-term employment contract is permissible under Polish law. The plaintiff, a former CEO, sued for reinstatement after the employer terminated her contract without notice, arguing the clause was invalid. The Court ruled that such clauses are admissible because, under Article 18 § 2 of the Labor Code, they are generally more favorable to employees when balancing market conditions against potential inconveniences.
