University statute cannot set fixed-term employment for PhD assistants; only non-PhD assistants qualify for such limits.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the University's cassation appeal regarding the termination of a PhD assistant's employment contract. The University argued its internal statute could limit the tenure of PhD assistants, while the Court found this exceeded statutory authority. Consequently, the Court ruled that university statutes cannot regulate matters beyond legislative authorization, rendering the specific termination clause invalid.
