Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a regional court ruling that rejected her claims for a jubilee bonus and other benefits. The plaintiff argued for civil compensation for the termination of her employment contract, but the court noted she did not allege the dismissal was unlawful. Consequently, the court held that the employer's action benefits from a presumption of legality under labor law, precluding civil liability without a separate claim proving illegality.
