Supreme Court defines insolvency day as bankruptcy filing date, overturning lower court dismissal of employee claims.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of an employee's wage claim against the Employee Guarantee Fund. The lower court had rejected the claim based on a narrow interpretation of the insolvency date, limiting coverage to only three months prior to that date. The Supreme Court clarified that the 'insolvency day' is legally defined as the date the bankruptcy petition was filed, thereby expanding the eligible payment period for the employee. Consequently, the case was remanded to the district court for a new decision based on this corrected legal interpretation.
