Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the appellate court's decision granting Urszula B. early retirement rights without requiring her to terminate her employment contract. The court found that the lower court incorrectly applied a 2007 amendment to the Teachers' Card Act, which exempted teachers born between 1948 and 1969 from the termination requirement only until December 31, 2008. Consequently, the court held that the statutory condition to end the employment relationship remains mandatory for all eligible teachers regardless of their birth date.
