Employer not liable for interest on social fund contributions; main debt satisfaction precludes interest claim.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the union's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that rejected claims for interest on social fund contributions. The lower courts found that while the school failed to transfer the required funds on time, the primary debt was eventually satisfied during the proceedings. The court held that since the main obligation was fulfilled, no separate liability for interest existed, and the employer remained the sole owner of the funds.
