The Polish Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal seeking reinstatement after stealing 1 zł from a passenger. The court found that the employee had previously been punished twice for similar misconduct, establishing a pattern of willful violation of duties. Consequently, the court ruled that the minor theft, combined with prior disciplinary history, constituted a serious breach justifying immediate termination without notice under the Labor Code.
