Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the Court of Appeal's dismissal of the plaintiff's appeal regarding unemployment compensation. The court found that the lower court failed to adjust the compensation amount to reflect the increase in the statutory minimum wage applicable at the time of the dispute. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new decision on the specific compensation figure while the remaining appeal on procedural costs was dismissed.
