The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal and remanded the labor dispute to the Court of Appeal in Katowice for a new trial. The plaintiff sought damages for wrongful termination and unused vacation, while the defendant alleged the plaintiff breached her duties through financial irregularities and creating a competing company. The court found the lower court's judgment insufficient because it failed to fully explain the circumstances of most alleged events and lacked detailed analysis of the plaintiff's specific competence and the consequences of her actions.
