Dismissal of early retirement claim where sole employee dismissal did not constitute group dismissal under economic reasons law.

The Supreme Court dismissed Danuta B.'s cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of early retirement benefits. The court found that as the sole employee in a two-person civil partnership, her dismissal for economic reasons did not meet the statutory definition of 'group dismissal' requiring at least two employees on indefinite contracts. Consequently, the dismissal did not trigger the specific legal conditions for early retirement under the relevant Act. The court emphasized that the employer bears the economic risk of operating with minimal staff and cannot exploit group dismissal provisions for single-employee situations.
