Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that denied reinstatement and awarded damages. The plaintiff, a supervisory board member, argued that specific labor law protections prevented his termination without notice. The court clarified that while Article 15 of the Privatization Act strictly forbids dismissal, it does not prohibit termination without notice, allowing the lower court to award damages instead.
