Civil court dismissed claim for compensation for father's death due to statute of limitations and lack of abuse of law.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe civil court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for 100,000 zł compensation for the death of his father, ruling that the statute of limitations had expired. The plaintiff argued that the defendant abused its right by raising the limitation defense after 18 years, citing structural ignorance in a rural environment. The court rejected this, finding the 18-year delay too long and insufficiently justified by special circumstances to constitute an abuse of law under Article 5 of the Civil Code.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 442 k.c.; Art. 5 k.c.: The statute of limitations is a stabilizing rule; raising it constitutes an abuse of law only upon proof of exceptional circumstances justifying the delay.
