Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Polish Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding a request to reopen employment termination proceedings. The plaintiff argued that a letter from the Labor Inspectorate revealed false reasons for dismissal and unknown facts, but the court found the information merely confirmed previously known data. The court ruled that since the plaintiff had access to employee lists and the facts were already proven, the letter did not constitute new evidence or circumstances warranting a retrial under the Civil Procedure Code.
