Supreme Court dismisses extraordinary review; statute of limitations runs from employment end, not injury date, under 1954 Decree.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary review of the lower court's judgment awarding compensation for an occupational disease. The plaintiff argued the claim was time-barred upon the Civil Code's entry into force, while the defendant contended the limitation period began at the end of employment. The court ruled that the 1954 Decree governing the period applied, establishing a 20-year limitation period starting from the cessation of employment rather than the date of injury or discovery.
