Supreme Court dismisses appeal where lawyer's non-notification did not affect outcome as client waived presence.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Jerzy C. against a labor accident compensation decision. The appellant's lawyer argued that failing to notify him of the hearing date deprived him of defense rights, yet the client had requested the trial proceed in his absence. The court ruled that since the client waived his presence and the expert opinion was favorable, the procedural error had no impact on the final result.
