Employer liability dismissed for reporting crime; employee's wrongful dismissal claim partially allowed by Supreme Court.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially dismissed the plaintiff's appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected his compensation claims. The plaintiff argued the employer acted unlawfully by transferring him to a new post without consent and by reporting him for a crime without investigation. The court held that reporting a crime to authorities is not an unlawful act and that the plaintiff's claim for punitive damages to the Red Cross lacked merit.
