Supreme Court dismissed cassation where coercion claims excluded application of general voidness provisions under Polish Civil Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by two employees against their employer regarding a termination of their employment contracts. The employees argued that their consent to new contract terms was obtained under duress and violated general principles of coexistence, while the employer contended the situation did not meet the strict statutory requirements for voidability. The court ruled that since the alleged coercion did not satisfy the specific elements of the relevant articles, the general provisions on voidness could not be applied, thereby upholding the lower court's decision.
