Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding the invalidity of his individual employment termination. The court found that while a reduction in workforce is a prerequisite for collective dismissals under the specific act, it is not a condition for individual dismissals justified by organizational changes under the general Labor Code. Consequently, the lower court's reliance on the reduction requirement was legally erroneous, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
