The Supreme Court of Poland remanded the case to the District Court for a new ruling on costs. The District Court had rejected the employer's claim for proportional cost recovery, arguing the specialized Shell project training did not constitute general qualification improvement under the relevant regulation. The Supreme Court found this reasoning arbitrary and insufficiently supported by facts regarding the training's necessity for the employee's specific role. Consequently, the court held that the lower court failed to properly apply the statutory principle of proportional cost calculation when the employee terminated the contract early.

Art. 1035 k.p.; Art. 108 § 2 k.p.c.: When an employee terminates employment before the agreed period following employer-funded training, the employer may claim proportional recovery of costs if the training enhanced qualifications necessary for the job, and the lower court must verify this factual link rather than arbitrarily excluding the statutory rule.
