Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against a lower court's decision awarding him damages. The employee argued he did not violate competition laws because his new battery production began only after the employer ceased that specific activity. The court ruled that joining a competing company as a manager without consent constitutes a breach of the duty of care, regardless of the timing of the new business relative to the employer's operations.
