Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the trade union's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling denying reimbursement from the workplace social fund. The union, newly established after the fund's regulations were already in force, failed to designate a representative for the Social Commission and did not object to the fund's distribution. The court held that the union's own negligence in this matter precluded the statutory conditions for claiming reimbursement under the Social Fund Act.
