The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Zofia S. against her employer, Poszukiwaniom Nafty i Gazu J. S., regarding her termination of the employment contract. Although the plaintiff argued that terminating her during her medical leave violated social norms and constituted an unfair trap, the court found no evidence of such misconduct. The court ruled that the employer's actions were lawful and did not breach social norms, as the termination was based on valid economic reasons and the plaintiff remained employed until the notice period expired.
