I PKN 22/98
AI generated
Cassation dismissed; pre-trial address change notification does not apply to service of default judgments.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe cassation appeal was dismissed because the defendant failed to notify the court of an address change before the proceedings commenced. The defendant argued that service of the default judgment was invalid due to a discrepancy between the registered address and the actual business location. The Supreme Court ruled that Article 136 of the Civil Procedure Code governs in-trial notifications, not pre-trial ones, and that service on the registered address was legally sufficient.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 133 § 2a, 2b KPC; Art. 136 § 1 KPC: The obligation to notify the court of a change of address applies only during proceedings, not before their initiation; therefore, service on the registered address remains valid for default judgments.
