Supreme Court dismisses appeal when court suspends proceedings without specifying if it was by mutual agreement or ex officio.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court decisions that dismissed a claim based on the expiration of a three-year suspension period. The lower courts assumed the suspension was due to a mutual agreement between parties, but the Supreme Court found no written request for such suspension in the case file. The court ruled that oral statements during a hearing could not establish a mutual agreement when the actual reason for suspension was a pending related case, thereby violating procedural requirements.
