Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a regional court ruling that invalidated an employer's economic dismissal of a union member. The employer had notified the workforce of the need to terminate contracts but failed to issue the mandatory regulations governing the dismissal procedure. The court held that the employer's letter constituted only a notification, not the required regulations, and thus the dismissal violated statutory procedural requirements.
