Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially dismissed the cassation appeal, quashing the lower court's finding on the existence of an employment relationship while rejecting other claims. The plaintiff argued that his appointment as a board member constituted an employment contract, but the lower court correctly determined the contract ended when his mandate expired. The court ruled that the registry entry of the new board member was merely declaratory and did not alter the substantive validity of the board's resolutions regarding the plaintiff's removal.
