The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Józef M. against a housing cooperative, seeking to establish an employment relationship based on a series of service contracts. The plaintiff argued that the employer abused economic power to deprive him of worker status, but the court found he voluntarily signed 56 service contracts and rejected job offers. The court ruled that the statutory provisions protecting workers do not override the principle of pacta sunt servanda when the employee acted knowingly and freely.
