Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim to reinstate his employment contract. The plaintiff, a worker with 34 years of service in hazardous conditions, was terminated two years before reaching the legally reduced pension age for his specific job category. The court ruled that the statutory prohibition on termination applies to such workers if continued employment allows them to access their pension at this lower age. Consequently, the case was remanded to the lower court for a new decision on reinstatement.
