Mobile operator billing without prior invoices fails to prove payment obligation; burden of proof remains on operator.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the plaintiff's claim for payment of mobile network operator fees calculated solely by a new list. The plaintiff argued that the new calculation method established a debt, while the operator failed to produce prior invoices confirming the amounts. The court ruled that without corroborating evidence in earlier bills, the new calculation cannot establish the obligation to pay, placing the burden of proof on the operator.
Legislator headnote

Ciężar dowodu spoczywa na operatorze sieci komórkowej.
