Supreme Court allows evidence against employment certificate statements anytime, even after statute of limitations expires. The court dismissed the appeal regarding the employer's liability for the certificate period. The decision clarifies that correcting employment certificate errors is always possible regardless of procedural deadlines. The court ruled that the employer's successor liability was not established due to unresolved legal succession issues. The judgment emphasizes the distinction between proving substantive facts and correcting official documents. This case establishes that evidence against employment certificates can be introduced at any stage of proceedings. The court found the lower court's dismissal of the appeal was legally incorrect based on these principles.

Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland quashed the cassation appeal and remanded the case for a new decision on costs. The plaintiff sought to establish an employment relationship and obtain a work certificate covering a specific period, while the defendant argued the claim lacked legal interest and was time-barred. The court held that while the statute of limitations for correcting work certificates may have expired, evidence contradicting statements in such certificates can always be introduced in any specific claim proceedings. Consequently, the court found the lower court's dismissal of the appeal based on the expiration of the limitation period was erroneous.
