The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a dismissed elected council member can claim damages. The plaintiff, Lech B., was removed from his position as deputy mayor after a vote that violated the town's statute and the Local Government Act. The court ruled that such a dismissal constitutes a breach of labor law protections, entitling the employee to compensation under specific labor codes. This decision prevents an unjust disparity between those dismissed by term expiration and those illegally removed from office.
