The Supreme Court of Poland rejected the appellant's cassation appeal, ruling it inadmissible due to late filing and insufficient grounds. Although the lower court granted a deadline extension citing difficulties in finding a lawyer, the Supreme Court held that such obstacles are exceptional and do not excuse missing statutory requirements. The appeal was ultimately dismissed because the submitted cassation lacked substantive arguments and was not properly attached to the extension request.
