Supreme Court allows appeal dismissing a council member's dismissal, ruling it does not violate local government law.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of a council member's claim for reinstatement, ordering the case to be retried. The lower courts had rejected reinstatement based on the member's dual role as a councilor and employee, citing a statutory prohibition. The Supreme Court clarified that this prohibition only mandates unpaid leave or resignation, not automatic termination, and thus reinstatement is legally permissible.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 24b ust. 1 ustawy o samorządzie gminnym; Art. 56 § 1 Kodeksu pracy: The statutory prohibition on councilors working in their own municipality's office does not preclude reinstatement to a position previously held by a councilor, as the law only requires unpaid leave or resignation upon request.
