Failure to serve a written declaration on insurance does not start the limitation period under Art. 819 KC.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court ruled that the limitation period for claiming insurance benefits did not begin because the insurer failed to serve a written declaration. Although the insurer paid the compensation, the lack of formal notification meant the statutory deadline under Article 819 of the Civil Code had not yet started. Consequently, the plaintiff's claim remained valid as the time limit for asserting the right had not expired.
