The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower labor court's judgment regarding a supplementary pension claim based on civil law provisions. The plaintiff argued that the employer's termination of his contract left him with no income, while the defendant offered a settlement. The court ruled that the labor code's statute of limitations provisions do not apply to civil law claims and that the lower courts erred by applying them ex officio.
