The Supreme Court of Poland remanded the case to the lower court for a new trial due to insufficient factual findings. The lower court denied disability benefits because it failed to determine if the applicant's visit to the Polish Embassy in Berlin constituted a necessary interruption to her commute. The Supreme Court ruled that the lower court did not adequately assess whether the break was life-justified or if the route remained functionally connected to her workplace.
