The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the defendant's cassation appeal regarding a dispute over severance pay and termination compensation. The plaintiff argued that the privatization of the state-owned shipyard constituted a liquidation of the workplace under specific labor laws, entitling her to full severance. The court held that the legal transfer of the enterprise to a new entity does not equate to the liquidation of the workplace as defined by the relevant statute. Consequently, the lower court's award of severance and termination pay was upheld as correct.
