Supreme Court quashes labor court judgment for civil contract dispute due to improper jury composition.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment and remanded the case for retrial. The lower court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for severance pay based on a civil management contract, but the Supreme Court found the proceedings void. The court ruled that a labor court cannot adjudicate a civil contract dispute in a panel including jurors, as civil cases require a single judge. Consequently, the procedural error rendered the entire first-instance judgment invalid.
