The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding the invalidity of a change in employment conditions. The court found that the plaintiff, a union member, sought restoration to her former controller role despite being unable to perform parts of it due to health reasons. The court ruled that such a claim contradicts the social-economic purpose of the law, which prioritizes the employer's right to organize work structures over the employee's desire to maintain previous conditions.

Art. 8 ust. 1 KP; Art. 42 § 4 KP: The social-economic purpose of the law prevails, meaning a claim to restore previous working conditions is inadmissible when the employee cannot perform normal tasks at the former position due to health reasons or refuses the new role.
