The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that applied Civil Code Article 519 to an employer transfer scenario. The appellant argued that the Civil Code should apply via Article 300 of the Labor Code, but the Supreme Court held that Article 231 of the Labor Code is a lex specialis governing such transfers. Consequently, the Supreme Court ruled that the Civil Code provision was inapplicable and remanded the case for a new decision based on the correct legal basis.
