Supreme Court dismisses cassation appeal on civil claim under 245 PLN, ruling it legally permissible despite constitutional and ECHR concerns.
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court's refusal to allow review due to the low value of the disputed amount. The plaintiff argued that the civil claim for a specific social benefit constituted a mixed right requiring access to the court under the Constitution and ECHR. The court held that the statutory limitation on cassation for small claims is a proportionate restriction on the right to a court, as cassation serves a distinct legal control function rather than fact-finding.
