The Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's dismissal of Marzena W.'s claim against J. Sp. z o.o. regarding her termination on a fixed-term contract. The court found that excluding temporary contracts from the special collective dismissal procedures violated both the Polish Act on Special Rules for Collective Dismissals and EU Directive 98/59/EC. Consequently, the court ordered the lower courts to reconsider the case with the temporary contract now subject to the protective procedural requirements.
