Supreme Court dismissed appeal; employer-employee contract invalid due to lack of subordination under Art. 22 KP.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Piotr M. against the Fund for Guaranteed Employee Benefits. The plaintiff argued that a contract with himself was void under the Civil Code, but the Court found the lower courts correctly determined that no employment relationship existed because the plaintiff, as the sole shareholder and president, exercised no subordination. The Court ruled that the absence of subordination negated the essential element of an employment contract under Article 22 of the Labor Code, thereby exempting the Fund from liability.
