Supreme Court held salary increases by managers are not intentional damage under Art. 122 KP.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that found managers intentionally damaged the employer by granting unauthorized salary increases. The court reasoned that raising wages to improve employee conditions, even without legal basis, generally lacks the intent to harm the employer's assets. Consequently, the case was remanded to the district court to address the statute of limitations and clarify damages from civil contracts between the managers.
