Legislator summary

AI generated

The Polish Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the widow of a deceased farmer against the agricultural insurance fund. The court upheld the lower courts' finding that the death was not an agricultural work accident because the deceased, intoxicated with 3.3 promiles of alcohol, severed the necessary connection between his work and his return home. Consequently, no work-related accident occurred under the relevant social insurance law, and the claim for a one-time compensation was rejected.
