Zvrat v kauze nymburské nemocnice: Odvolání Kvačkové neplatí, rozhodl soud

The Municipal Court in Prague ruled that the decision by Nymburk Mayor Tomáš Mach from December 2024 to dismiss Nela Kvačková from her position as director of the municipal hospital is invalid and legally ineffective. The court found that the mayor was not authorized to make this decision, even when empowered to do so by the city council. Decisions regarding the dismissal of a director fall within the authority reserved for the city council, not the mayor. The city disagrees with the court's decision and plans to appeal. The court did not impose an obligation on the council to make a new decision regarding Kvačková's dismissal. The hospital was ordered to pay Kvačková 70,102 crowns for the costs of the proceedings. The court did not address the substantive reasons for the dismissal, which the city justified based on alleged breach of duties by the director.
