Supreme Court allows partial claim for unequal share of privatization shares due to discriminatory regulation.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' claim for compensation regarding unequal share allocation of privatization shares. The plaintiffs argued that the company's regulation granting only one share to each employee violated the statutory rule of equal distribution under the Investment Funds Act. The court held that while the regulation is a deviation from the equal distribution rule, it must be objective and non-discriminatory, and the symbolic allocation of one share per employee failed to realize the statutory right to preferential acquisition.
