Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Polish Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Marta M. against her employment contract termination by the German General Consulate. The plaintiff argued that Polish courts lacked jurisdiction due to diplomatic immunity, while the Consulate maintained that the dispute should be heard in Germany. The court ruled that diplomatic immunity extends to employment law disputes involving diplomatic missions and that the specific administrative office was an integral part of the Consulate, thus barring Polish judicial review.
