Loss of trust justifies dismissal if misconduct is objectively blameworthy even without subjective fault.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employer's appeal regarding the termination of an employee's contract due to loss of trust. The court found that while the employee shared confidential data with an unauthorized person, he did so unknowingly to assist a colleague in performing necessary analyses. Consequently, the Court ruled that the employee's actions were not objectively blameworthy and could not constitute a valid ground for dismissal under labor law.

AI generatedArt. 30 § 4 k.p.; Art. 45 § 1 k.p.: Loss of trust justifies dismissal only if the employee's conduct is objectively blameworthy, even in the absence of subjective fault, and must be evaluated within the full factual context.
