Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the grandparents' claim for child support, ruling that their obligation is secondary to the parents'. The material facts show the parents were capable of fulfilling their duty, while the grandparents argued they should pay due to financial hardship. The court decided against the grandparents because Polish law strictly limits their alimentary responsibility to situations where both parents are legally or factually unable to provide support.
