Supreme Court allows employee reinstatement claim against new employer despite prior contract termination by old employer.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of an employee's reinstatement claim against a new employer. The employee argued that the new entity should inherit obligations from the previous employer, even though her contract was terminated before the takeover. The court ruled that the failure to apply the specific takeover statute does not preclude other legal mechanisms for transferring rights and duties between entities.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 231 § 1 Kodeksu pracy; Art. 393 § 1 Kodeksu postępowania cywilnego: The inapplicability of the specific employee takeover provision does not exclude the legal consequences of the transfer of rights and obligations arising from other legal bases or factual circumstances.
