Supreme Court allows reinstatement claim for age discrimination, rejecting age as a valid social usage barrier. Dismisses employer's procedural objection regarding appointment status.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially set aside the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for reinstatement and back pay. The plaintiff argued she was employed under an appointment rather than a contract, while the defendant contended the legal path was inadmissible. The Court ruled that denying reinstatement due to retirement age would violate the anti-discrimination ban in the Civil Code, and the lower court's finding of termination by the plaintiff's letter was inconsistent with the awarded severance.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 113 Kodeksu pracy; Art. 8 Kodeksu pracy: The prohibition of age discrimination precludes treating a claim for reinstatement as contrary to social usage merely because the employee has reached retirement age.
