Court holds statutory compensation under Art. 446 § 3 k.c. is partial, not full, damages under Art. 361 § 2 k.c.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the claim for full damages, ruling that compensation under Article 446 § 3 of the Civil Code is a statutory, fixed-amount remedy rather than full compensation. The plaintiff argued for full damages under Article 361 § 2, but the court determined the legislature intended a specific, partial compensation to facilitate adaptation to changed life circumstances. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the statutory provision does not equate to the full damages standard required by the plaintiff's request.

Odszkodowanie należne na podstawie art. 446 § 3 k.c. nie jest odszkodowaniem pełnym w rozumieniu art. 361 § 2 k.c., lecz z woli ustawodawcy "stosownym", tj. takim, które ułatwi przystosowanie się uprawnionemu do zmienionej sytuacji życiowej. Ze swej natury jest to kompensacja o charakterze ryczałtowym.
