Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a teacher against her dismissal following a change in the teaching plan. The lower court found that the school's student numbers and class structure remained stable while the number of full-time teachers decreased, negating the claim of organizational changes. The court ruled that the statutory provision allowing dismissal due to teaching plan changes does not apply when such changes are merely redistributive rather than resulting from a genuine reduction in teaching capacity.
