Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision regarding a worker injured on apartment stairs, remanding the case for retrial. The worker argued the incident occurred during the commute home, while the Social Insurance Office contended the journey ended upon entering the building. The court ruled that for multi-apartment buildings, the commute only concludes when the worker crosses the threshold of their specific apartment, not the building entrance.
