Polish Supreme Court dismisses appeal claiming forged document invalidates judgment under Civil Procedure Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Alicja Z.-L. against a lower court's rejection of her request for retrial. The plaintiff argued that a procedural document containing a forged signature served as the basis for the final judgment, citing Article 403 § 1 item 1 of the Civil Procedure Code. The court ruled that this provision applies only to evidence establishing facts, not to procedural documents like letters, and thus a forged signature does not constitute a statutory ground for retrial.
