Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling municipal office reorganization does not justify dismissal of appointed staff.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's appeal to reinstate his employment after the municipal office was reorganized. The court found that the lower court incorrectly applied the law by treating the entire municipality as a single organizational unit rather than specific departments. Consequently, the court held that the reduction in staff within the specific municipal office, not the whole municipality, constituted the valid ground for dismissal under the relevant statute.
