The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's appeal regarding her dismissal as a cultural institution director. The plaintiff argued that the specific law governing cultural activities required union opinions before such a dismissal, which the lower courts incorrectly ignored in favor of general labor code provisions. The court held that the specific statute prevails over the general labor code, mandating that the proper procedure involving union opinions be followed.
