Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision that had reinstated a council member employee after the employer failed to obtain the required municipal council approval for termination. The court found that the employer's request for consent was not approved within the statutory 30-day window, meaning the termination was invalid. Consequently, the court held that the employee must be reinstated to their former position, rejecting the employer's argument that the role's liquidation justified immediate dismissal.
