Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former company director against a labor court judgment. The lower court had ruled that the employment contract was fixed-term based on the director's personal tenure, making the dismissal invalid. The Supreme Court determined that the contract term was fixed by the statutory board term, not the individual's service duration. Consequently, the dismissal was valid, and the claim for reinstatement was rejected.

Art. 25 ust. 1 Kodeksu pracy; Art. 33 Kodeksu pracy: Fixed-term employment contracts established for the duration of a board term cannot be terminated early unless specific clauses exist, as the term is defined by the board's mandate, not the individual's tenure.
