Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling discrimination claims invalid due to procedural errors and temporal gaps in mobbing laws.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding damages for wrongful dismissal. The lower court found the employer's stated reasons for termination unsupported by evidence and potentially discriminatory, but the Supreme Court identified critical flaws in the reasoning. Specifically, the court noted the employer failed to prove the employee violated internal procedures and that the alleged mobbing occurred before the relevant anti-mobbing statute came into force. Consequently, the court held that the dismissal reasons did not constitute discrimination or a breach of social norms under the Labor Code.
