Supreme Court dismisses appeal; mixed-term contract rules override general dismissal bans during justified absence.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a lecturer against her university's termination of her employment contract. The court found that the lecturer's position was a mixed-term contract where the employer could terminate upon the expiration of the statutory period for obtaining a doctorate degree. Consequently, the general prohibition on dismissing employees during justified absence did not apply to this specific academic contract type.
