Supreme Court allows re-employment claim under special termination law despite new civil service hiring rules.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that an employee terminated under special grounds retains the right to claim re-employment under the specific termination statute. Although the plaintiff argued that the new Civil Service Act mandated a different hiring procedure, the Court found the new law's recruitment process to be a general rule rather than a special exception overriding the old statute. Consequently, the court held that the principle of applying the special termination law to re-hire the same professional group remains valid.
