The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Lech B., a councilor, against the General Directorate of National Roads and Motorways. The lower court had ordered the reinstatement of the employee after he was dismissed via an impermissible change of contract, arguing this violated the principle of unrestricted dismissal. However, the Supreme Court ruled that the law explicitly excludes reinstatement for employees hired by appointment who are dismissed by the appointing authority, limiting their remedy to compensation.
