Supreme Court rules an accident during a subordinate's side business task is a work accident under Polish law.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim to recognize an accident as a work accident. The plaintiff, an electrician, suffered an injury from a malfunctioning lift while performing an oral task assigned by his direct supervisor for a subsidiary company. The court held that the accident occurred during work hours and at the workplace while executing a direct order, thus constituting a work accident under the relevant statute.
