Supreme Court dismisses appeal, ruling collective agreement clauses apply only to restructuring positions.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the defendant's cassation appeal against a lower court's award of severance pay to an employee not involved in a factory restructuring. The court held that the relevant collective agreement clause explicitly applies only to positions subject to restructuring, rejecting the employer's argument that consent covers both termination and additional payments. Consequently, the decision was overturned and the case remanded for a new ruling on costs.
