Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding the work relationship but remanded the case for civil proceedings concerning unpaid wages. The lower labor court rejected the claim solely because the contract was civil rather than labor-based, which the Supreme Court found procedurally flawed. The court ruled that such a dismissal creates a res judicata barrier preventing the plaintiff from seeking the same remedy in a civil court, necessitating a transfer to the civil division.

Art. 379 pkt 4 k.p.c.; Art. 199 § 1 pkt 2 k.p.c.; Art. 398 § 1 k.p.c.: A labor court cannot dismiss a wage claim solely because the underlying contract is civil, as this creates a res judicata barrier; the case must be remanded to a civil court for proper adjudication.
