I PK 135/08
AI generated
Supreme Court dismisses employer liability for wrongful dismissal where employee failed to mitigate loss by seeking new employment.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's claim for damages resulting from the employer's wrongful termination of her employment contract. The court held that while the employer intentionally violated dismissal rules, the plaintiff failed to prove the full extent of her lost earnings because she did not actively seek new employment after termination. Consequently, the court ruled that the plaintiff's inaction contributed to the damage, thereby reducing or negating the employer's liability under tort law.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 415 k.c.; Art. 300 k.p.: The employer is liable for intentional violation of dismissal rules, but the employee must mitigate loss; failure to actively seek new employment constitutes a contribution to the damage.
