Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal regarding the rejection of a cassation petition and the refusal to appoint a lawyer. The appellant argued that the same judges who issued the contested ruling should not decide on the appeal and that he lacked funds for legal representation. The court ruled that the appeal was inadmissible because the law requires a lawyer for cassation in social insurance cases, and the statutory requirement for legal representation overrides the appellant's personal circumstances.
