Supreme Court dismissed appeal regarding state compensation for lost shares, ruling the Council of Ministers' decree is not labor law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the State Treasury against a labor court awarding compensation to former employees. The plaintiffs sought damages for failing to receive shares from the Gdańsk Shipyard, while the defendants argued the Council of Ministers' 1990 decree was not a source of labor law. The court held that the decree governed the transfer of shares but did not establish a legal basis for compensating lost share value or lost profits, thus rejecting the higher damages claimed.
