Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Stanisław W. against a labor court judgment denying a 40-year service bonus. The plaintiff argued that his delayed job acceptance was involuntary due to the liquidation of his previous employer, while the defendant maintained the statutory 30-day employment requirement was strictly met. The court ruled that merely declaring readiness to work does not constitute actual employment, and the liquidation of a prior workplace does not excuse the failure to start a new job within the mandated period.
