Dismissal of dismissal due to criminal proceedings; later acquittal does not invalidate trust-based termination.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's appeal to reinstate his employment after being fired for loss of trust linked to criminal proceedings. The court held that the validity of such a dismissal depends on circumstances known at the time of termination, not on later criminal outcomes like acquittal. Consequently, the lower court's decision was overturned and the case remanded for a new ruling.
