The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that rejected her claim for damages for losing the right to purchase Telecomunikacja Polska shares. The plaintiff, a former postal worker, argued she was unaware of the share offer because the company did not individually notify her, despite receiving a certificate of employment. The court held that no legal obligation existed for the employer to send individual letters to former employees regarding such rights, as the law only mandated general public announcements. Consequently, the plaintiff's failure to act based on insufficient information did not constitute a compensable tort or breach of good faith.
