Cassation dismissed; witness refusal does not bar evidence in second instance under Polish Civil Procedure Code.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal in a dispute over unpaid employee wages and misappropriated funds. The appellant argued that the lower court erred by excluding witness testimony after witnesses refused to testify, citing procedural violations. The court held that a witness's refusal to testify does not prevent their summoning in the second instance and that the first instance had sufficiently clarified the wage payment issue through other evidence.
