Non-compete clause in employment contract without compensation is invalid under Polish Labor Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected his claim for damages based on a non-compete agreement. The court found that the clause in the employment contract merely prohibited the disclosure of trade secrets, aligning with the Anti-Unfair Competition Act, rather than constituting a valid non-compete agreement under the Labor Code. Consequently, the plaintiff was not bound by a non-compete restriction and could not claim damages for alleged breach of such a non-existent agreement.
