AI generated

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment that rejected the claim due to lack of standing. The lower court incorrectly dismissed the lawsuit against the Mayor without summoning the proper defendant, the Housing Management Facility, violating its duty to call parties to the proceedings. Consequently, the Supreme Court held that this failure constituted a fundamental failure to adjudicate the case's merits, mandating the case be remanded for retrial.
