Supreme Court dismissed appeal; oral appointment of board member to factory manager failed due to lack of proper authority.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Grzegorz W. against the Court of Appeal's decision rejecting his claim for unpaid wages. The appellant argued that an oral appointment by the company's general meeting established an employment relationship, while the opposing party contended no such appointment occurred. The court ruled that the appointment was legally invalid because the company lacked a supervisory board or authorized agent to appoint a board member to a management role, and the appellant failed to prove the necessary intent to create an employment relationship.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 68 § 1 k.p.; Art. 203 k.h.: An appointment of a board member to a factory manager constitutes an employment relationship only if made by the competent organ; since the supervisory board or authorized agent is required, an appointment by the general meeting is invalid and does not establish an employment relationship.
