Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that denied a one-time work accident benefit to a farmer. The farmer argued the accident occurred while participating in activities of the agricultural chamber, a social organization, but the court found this did not constitute a work accident under the relevant statute. The court determined that the legislative intent explicitly excluded accidents occurring during or in connection with participation in such social organization activities from the scope of work accident coverage.
