Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former coal mine director against a lower court's decision. The lower court found that the plaintiff's employment history consisted of successive fixed-term contracts, including a specific extension to approve a promotion, rather than a single open-ended contract. The Supreme Court upheld this finding, ruling that such extensions do not automatically transform the relationship into an open-ended one under Article 251 of the Labor Code.
