Supreme Court dismisses reinstatement claim for selling private drugs during work, allowing damages instead.

The Supreme Court of Poland partially reversed a lower court's decision to reinstate a veterinarian employee who sold private medications during official duties. While the court acknowledged the employee's actions constituted a serious breach of duty, it held that reinstatement was inappropriate because the misconduct lacked the exceptional severity required by law. Consequently, the court ordered the employee's reinstatement but remanded the case to determine the specific damages owed for the period of unemployment.
