Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the appellate court's decision regarding a dismissal from a cooperative's board. The worker was terminated to facilitate early retirement, with the board size restored immediately after the statutory notice period expired. The court ruled that such a temporary reduction, without economic necessity, does not qualify as dismissal due to economic reasons under the relevant statute.
