Supreme Court dismisses cassation ruling that contract name does not define employment relationship under Polish Labor Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Stanisław L. against a lower court's decision to reject his claim for unemployment benefits. The plaintiff argued that his contract with Mariusz F. was merely a label for an actual employment relationship, while the defendant maintained the written agreement defined their legal status. The court ruled that the contract name is irrelevant only if the relationship exhibits specific statutory features of employment, which were absent here due to the lack of strict subordination.
