Supreme Court dismissed appeal; fixed-term contract expired, not indefinite, so unemployment claims failed.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a regional court's judgment. The lower court ruled that the employment relationship was based on a fixed-term contract that expired in December 1996, thereby rejecting claims for unemployment pay and other benefits. The Supreme Court upheld this decision, confirming that the transfer of work did not convert the contract to indefinite term and that the expiration of the fixed term legally ended the employment relationship.
