Supreme Court dismisses appeal for lack of specific client authorization beyond general union power.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a lawyer representing an insurance fund. The lower court rejected the appeal because the lawyer failed to submit a specific power of attorney from the client, relying instead on a general authorization from the union's executive board. The court ruled that while the union's general mandate covers specific member matters, it does not automatically authorize the lawyer to represent an individual member without their separate consent.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 88 KPC; Art. 465 § 1 KPC: A general power of attorney from an organization does not suffice to represent an individual member in civil proceedings; specific authorization from the member is required.
