Supreme Court allows reinstatement after employer liquidation when successor entity inherits legal obligations.

The Supreme Court of Poland reformed a lower court's dismissal of an employee's reinstatement claim following the liquidation of her employer. The court found that the municipal office, which took over the factory's assets and tasks, became the legal successor under Article 231 of the Labor Code. Consequently, the office was held liable for the wrongful termination of the union activist, whose protected status under union laws required special protection against such dismissals.
