The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the municipal office against a labor court judgment. The court found that the lower instance correctly established no job reduction occurred, which is a mandatory prerequisite for terminating the employment contract under the cited statute. Consequently, the termination was deemed invalid, and the court held that the timing of the termination relative to organizational changes was irrelevant without the prerequisite of reduced staffing.
