Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Adam S.'s cassation appeal against the Police Commander regarding delayed salary and interest for 1992-1994. The defendant argued the officer was not an employee under the Labor Code due to administrative dismissal for disability, citing a prior Supreme Court ruling. The court rejected the Ministry of Justice's claim that the Constitutional Tribunal's interpretation bound the judiciary, affirming that only statutes, not lower-level interpretations, bind judges.
