AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the lower court's dismissal of an employee's claim against the Employee Benefits Guarantee Fund. The employee argued the employer was insolvent, while the Fund contended the company remained registered and thus did not meet insolvency criteria. The Court held that Article 43 of the 2006 Act is a transitional provision requiring assessment of both the scope of benefits and the insolvency prerequisite according to the 1993 Act valid at the time the claims arose.
