Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the employee's cassation appeal regarding damages for wrongful termination without notice. The court held that the period of unemployment following termination for the employee's fault breaks the causal link required for civil liability under the Civil Code. Consequently, the compensation received under labor law for the notice period offsets any civil damages claim, preventing unjust enrichment.
