Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Stanisław M. against his dismissal from the Cooperative of Disabled Persons. The lower courts found the employee intoxicated at work based on witness testimony and documents, rejecting his claim of a gallbladder attack. The Court held that the lack of a blood test did not violate procedural rights because the employee waived further evidence requests and the dismissal was based on established facts of intoxication.
