AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Stanisław N. against a labor accident determination. The plaintiff argued that the first-instance court's refusal to appoint a lawyer violated his right to defense and Article 6 of the ECHR. The court held that such a refusal does not deprive a party of the ability to defend their rights, as they can appeal the specific decision regarding the appointment.
