The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment that rejected an employee's claim for damages due to wrongful dismissal. The court found that the employer's transfer of the business to a new entity could not be the sole reason for terminating the fixed-term employment contract. Consequently, the court upheld the lower court's decision that the dismissal was lawful under the specific circumstances and applicable statutes.

Art. 10 ust. 1 ustawy o zwolnieniach grupowych; Art. 231 § 1 k.p.: The transfer of a business to a new employer cannot constitute the exclusive ground for terminating an employment contract, as this would violate the principle of employee protection derived from EU law.
