Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially revoked a lower court's judgment regarding occupational disease compensation due to procedural errors. The plaintiff argued that his actual income from business activities should be considered when calculating his compensation, but the lower court relied solely on an expert opinion that ignored contradictory insurance records. The court held that in labor law cases, the judge is not bound by the plaintiff's specific claim amount if the established facts warrant a different calculation, necessitating a retrial.
