Attending a colleague's funeral counts as work-related activity under Polish Work Accident Act regardless of representation role.

The Supreme Court reversed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's appeal, overturning the decision that denied work accident status. The plaintiff, an employee, suffered injuries in a car accident while driving privately to attend a colleague's funeral, an event approved by management as a customary practice. The court held that participation in such ceremonies constitutes 'work-related activity' under the Work Accident Act, granting protection irrespective of whether the employee acted as a formal representative or simply as a crew member.
