AI generated
Supreme Court dismissed cassation; employer's failure to specify cause for dismissal without notice due to conflict does not mandate reinstatement.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that awarded damages instead of reinstatement. The lower courts found the plaintiff failed to follow orders, creating a conflict, but the employer failed to sufficiently specify this cause in the dismissal letter. The Supreme Court agreed that while the dismissal violated procedural rules, reinstatement was unfeasible due to the existing conflict and the plaintiff's near-retirement status.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 56 § 2 in conjunction with Art. 45 § 2 of the Labor Code; where an employer terminates a contract without notice due to employee fault but fails to specify the cause, the court may deem reinstatement unfeasible or unwise and award damages instead.
