The Supreme Court ruled that the Social Democratic Party of Poland (SdRP) must assume responsibility for labor obligations arising from factories acquired from the former Polish United Workers' Party. The Ministry of Labor argued that property transfers to the State Treasury under the 1990 Act should exempt SdRP from these debts. The court held that the Labor Code's provisions on employer succession override the specific property transfer law, ensuring worker protection regardless of asset nationalization.
