The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the Regional Court's decision denying a work accident claim due to insufficient evidence regarding the timing of the employee's fall. The Ministry of Justice argued that the lower court arbitrarily concluded the injury happened after the employee left the workplace without proper investigation. Consequently, the case was remanded for a comprehensive factual review to determine if the accident occurred during the employment relationship.
