Supreme Court allows lawyer's fee for arbitration when acting with foreign counsel under Polish law.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court decisions that denied a lawyer's fee for conducting an arbitration proceeding with foreign counsel. The plaintiff argued that his role as legal counsel entitled him to additional compensation, while the lower courts found he merely assisted a Swiss attorney without being a partner. The Supreme Court ruled that the statutory provisions on lawyer fees apply equally to foreign arbitration proceedings and that the lower courts incorrectly assessed the evidence regarding the nature of the mandate.
