The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the extraordinary review regarding a claim for a one-time compensation for a service accident. The plaintiff, a border guard, fell and suffered head injuries while staying in a shelter after finishing his official duties and handing over equipment. The court found no evidence that the accident occurred during the direct route to or from duty or was caused by official actions, as the stay was for social reasons. Consequently, the court ruled that the incident did not meet the statutory definition of a service accident under the relevant compensation law.
