Dismissal of appeal: Employer need not assess employee suitability for new role after mass layoffs due to department liquidation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Alicja T.'s cassation appeal against the Regional Court's decision to reject her request for reinstatement. The court found that the employer's mass layoffs were legally justified by the liquidation of the warehouse department, leaving the plaintiff with no suitable alternative position within the company. Although the plaintiff argued the lower court failed to formally assess her suitability for the new economic department, the Supreme Court ruled this was a formal defect that did not affect the outcome since she lacked the necessary qualifications.
