Supreme Court reversed lower courts on anniversary bonus statute of limitations start date due to earlier agreement protocol.

The Supreme Court of Poland revoked lower court judgments dismissing a claim for an unissued anniversary bonus. The plaintiff argued the five-year waiting period for the bonus began after he acquired the right, while the defendant claimed it started from his 1967 employment date. The court found an earlier 1991 protocol identical to the 1992 one, meaning the waiting period condition existed before the plaintiff earned the bonus, delaying the right's acquisition until 1993 and preventing the statute of limitations from expiring.
