Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland partially allowed the plaintiff's claim for reinstatement after a fixed-term employment contract was terminated by the employer without a specific termination clause. The court found that while Article 50 of the Labor Code did not apply, the situation required analogical application of Article 56 in conjunction with Article 59 of the same code. Consequently, the court ordered the employer to reinstate the employee because a long period remained until the contract's natural expiration, ruling that damages were insufficient given the duration.
