Supreme Court dismissed claim that a parish priest's religious service employment constitutes a labor relationship.

The Supreme Court dismissed Andrzej B.'s cassation appeal against the dismissal of his claim to establish a labor relationship with the Evangelical-Augsburgian Parish. The plaintiff argued that his appointment as a parish priest involved a labor contract, while the parish contended that his role was governed by internal church law and ecclesiastical hierarchy. The court ruled that such religious service employment falls outside the Labor Code due to the constitutional principle of church-state separation and the specific nature of ecclesiastical mandates.
