Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiffs' lawsuit seeking reinstatement of previous wage conditions after the employer introduced a new pay regulation. The lower court incorrectly ruled that the employer's stated effective date of January 3, 2003, was false, thereby invalidating the termination of collective agreements. The Supreme Court held that the mere inaccuracy of the effective date did not render the stated reason for termination invalid, provided the workers had access to the regulation's content.
