Supreme Court dismissed claim that university medical teachers have a right to hospital shifts from the university itself.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Zofia S.'s cassation appeal against the lower court's partial award of damages for lost income from medical shifts. The plaintiff argued that her employment contract with the medical university implicitly included a right to hospital shifts, while the university contended that such duties stem from a separate employment or service contract with the hospital. The court ruled that the right to medical shifts and corresponding compensation is not an element of the service relationship between the teacher and the university, but rather arises from a distinct contractual relationship with the hospital.
