Supreme Court dismisses extraordinary review for non-grave legal error regarding termination vs abandonment of work.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed an extraordinary review filed by the Solidarity union against a labor court judgment. The union argued that the lower court failed to apply specific procedural rules regarding reinstatement and that the employee's union activities constituted a procedural violation. The court held that while the distinction between work abandonment and immediate termination for fault is legally significant, the practical consequences for the employee are identical, making the error non-grave.
