Sale of business during wage payment proceedings does not strip former employer of procedural standing.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a former employer against a labor court judgment awarding back wages. The court found that the employer's attempt to challenge its procedural standing based on the sale of the business or corporate succession was procedurally untimely, as the objection was raised only during the appeal phase. Consequently, the court held that the transfer of the business or assets does not automatically deprive the original employer of its standing in the ongoing dispute, thereby upholding the lower court's decision.
