Supreme Court allows dismissal of municipal councilor's employment termination, citing special protection under local government law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of a municipal councilor's claim regarding his termination. The councilor argued that his dismissal before June 30, 1999, violated special protections under local government law because the municipal council had not consented to the termination. The court ruled that despite the administrative reform transferring the councilor to a new office, the specific protections for councilors remained in force and the employer failed to obtain the required council approval.
