The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal and ordered the telecommunications company to pay the plaintiff 1,200 PLN in cassation costs. The lower court had rejected the claim for compensation regarding the loss of free share acquisition rights after the plaintiff's wife died without exercising her option. The court held that the company, resulting from state privatization, bears obligations to former employees and that the defendant's admission of the employee's status as a retired worker confirmed her entitlement to the shares.
