The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the Minister of Justice's cassation appeal against a lower court's order granting enforceability against a spouse. The lower court had granted enforceability against the wife without determining whether marital property co-ownership existed at the time of the judgment. The Supreme Court ruled that because the lower court's decision lacked reasoning, it could not establish the necessary facts regarding the marital property status. Consequently, the court could not issue a reformatory judgment and instead ordered the case to be remanded for a new trial with proper fact-finding.
