Supreme Court dismissed teacher's appeal; employer's letter was information, not termination notice.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the teacher's cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that terminated her employment due to a change in school teaching plans. The lower court found the school director's letter merely informed the teacher of her right to request non-activity status, rather than constituting a formal termination notice. The Supreme Court agreed, ruling that without an explicit statement of will to terminate, the letter could not legally end the employment contract.
