Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the social insurance fund's cassation appeal, allowing the employee to claim early retirement. The court found that the employee's employment contract terminated on June 30, 1999, solely because the employer failed to propose new working conditions by the statutory deadline, constituting a termination due to employer reorganization. Consequently, the court ruled that the specific statutory provision granting early retirement to such employees was applicable, overriding the pension office's refusal based on age.
