Legislator summary

The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against a lower court's refusal to allow review due to the low value of the disputed amount. The plaintiff argued that the civil claim for a specific social benefit constituted a mixed right requiring access to the court under the Constitution and ECHR. The court held that the statutory limitation on cassation for small claims is a proportionate restriction on the right to a court, as cassation serves a distinct legal control function rather than fact-finding.

Art. 393 pkt 1 KPC; Art. 6 ust. 1 Konwencji o ochronie praw człowieka i podstawowych wolności: The statutory limitation of cassation proceedings for civil claims below a specific monetary threshold does not violate the constitutional right to a court or Article 6 of the ECHR, as it represents a proportionate restriction inherent to the unique supervisory role of the cassation court.
