Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal regarding a work accident claim against Polish State Railways. The court found that while the injury occurred during work hours, the plaintiff's act of hammering an explosive object onto the tracks was driven by personal curiosity rather than work duties. Consequently, the causal link between the work environment and the injury was severed, rendering the event a private matter not covered by work accident protections.
