Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a company seeking the return of an overpaid salary to its CEO. The court found that paying a director-general, who also served as the sole manager, a higher wage without legal basis for over seven years satisfied the principles of social coexistence. Consequently, the court ruled that the employee could not demand the return of this unjust enrichment, as the payment was not contrary to social norms.
Legislator headnote
