Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding the exclusion of statutory severance pay. The plaintiff argued that accepting a job offer from a successor company did not automatically trigger the statutory exclusion of severance, claiming the new employment terms differed significantly. The court ruled that merely accepting a serious job offer from the new employer, who utilizes the predecessor's assets, fulfills the legal requirement for excluding severance, regardless of specific job title details.
