Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's cassation appeal regarding his termination from a primary school. The lower courts found that significant organizational changes, including a shift to a single-shift system and a drastic reduction in library hours, legally mandated the school director to terminate employment with one of two staff members. The court ruled that the director's choice to terminate the appellant did not violate the Teacher's Charter because the law grants the director discretion in selecting which employee to dismiss during such reductions.
