Supreme Court dismisses appeal; employment contract prevails over appointment statute post-Kodeks Pracy amendment.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee seeking reinstatement after his dismissal during a cooperative's bankruptcy. The lower courts held that the employee was appointed to the management board under a specific statute, which the bankruptcy administrator used to terminate his employment. The Supreme Court ruled that following the 1996 Labor Code amendment, such appointments automatically converted into standard employment contracts, rendering the original appointment statute ineffective for defining the employment relationship.
