Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a labor court order reinstating the employee. The court found that the employer had previously been able to verify the employee's serious misconduct, meaning the statutory time limit for termination could not be calculated from the date of discovering the damage. Consequently, the court ruled that the employer's actions were not arbitrary and the reinstatement was not unreasonable, upholding the lower court's decision.
