The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a labor court ruling that rejected her claim to re-employment. The plaintiff, fired for economic reasons, sought to return to work based on Article 12 of the Mass Layoffs Act, which mandates re-hiring if a worker applies within three months. The court held that employment under a scholarship agreement does not qualify as 're-hiring' because the legal prerequisites and purposes of the two employment types differ fundamentally. Consequently, the statutory obligation to re-employ was not triggered by the specific nature of the new contract.

Art. 12 ust. 1 ustawy z dnia 28 grudnia 1989 r. o szczególnych zasadach rozwiązywania z pracownikami stosunków pracy z przyczyn dotyczących zakładu pracy; Zatrudnienie pracownika w oparciu o umowę o stypendium fundowane nie stanowi 'ponownego zatrudniania' w rozumieniu art. 12 ustawy, gdyż różnią się one przesłankami, warunkami i celami, a nie można bez zastrzeżeń podzielić poglądu, że przyczyna ponownego zatrudniania nie ma znaczenia dla oceny zasadności roszczenia.
