Criminal appeal dismissed; unfavorable first-instance verdict cannot serve as sole basis for new facts under Art. 381 KPC.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Beata W. against the Second Instance Court's rejection of her claim for a post-mortem payment. The court held that an unfavorable first-instance judgment cannot independently constitute the 'need' to introduce new evidence under Article 381 of the Code of Civil Procedure. Furthermore, the court found no substantial impact on the case outcome regarding the alleged violation of Article 328 § 2 KPC, as the lower court's decision remained substantively correct despite formal reasoning defects.
