Polish Supreme Court dismisses appeal when plaintiff corrects claim amount, making original amount invalid for dispute value threshold.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the appellant's appeal against a second-instance court decision rejecting the claim. The appellant initially sought 10,000 PLN but later corrected the complaint to request only 3,551.76 PLN due to a clerical error. The court ruled that this correction invalidated the original claim amount, meaning the dispute value was legally fixed at the corrected lower figure rather than the higher one cited in the appeal. Consequently, the appeal was rejected because the corrected amount fell below the statutory threshold required to file a cassation.
