Supreme Court allows pensioner's claim for one-time payment after employer error prevented early retirement.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the defendant's cassation appeal and upheld the lower court's award of a one-time pension payment and anniversary bonus. The plaintiff, a former state official, received a one-off payment after his employment ended and he subsequently retired, having previously received a pre-retirement benefit. The court ruled that the employer's failure to inform the plaintiff about his right to early retirement constituted a fault that prevented him from exercising that right, thereby justifying the one-time payment under the relevant statute.
