Supreme Court dismisses appeal on fixed-term teacher contract justified by temporary substitute need.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that rejected his claim for an indefinite-term employment contract. The court found that the plaintiff's temporary assignment to teach classes previously held by a colleague did not constitute a legal substitute for a teacher on temporary leave, as the colleague was not expected to return. Consequently, the fixed-term contract was validly concluded based on the actual need to replace the absent teacher, and the procedural objection regarding the judge's recusal was deemed untimely.
