Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the appellate court's ruling that a collective agreement clause was limited to 36 months. The plaintiff argued the agreement created a permanent right to severance pay as a union official, while the defendant contended the term was fixed. The court ruled that since no specific duration was set for this clause, it applies indefinitely based on systemic interpretation of the entire agreement.
