Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review by the Minister of Justice regarding a work accident claim. The lower court incorrectly assumed the work connection remained intact despite the employee's drunkenness and subsequent fight. The court ruled that the employee's behavior, specifically consuming alcohol and engaging in a brawl, severed the necessary link between the injury and employment duties.
