Plaintiff's appeal dismissed; lack of representation requires formal complaint to allow retrial under Polish Civil Procedure Code.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's request for a retrial, ruling that the defendant's lack of proper legal representation did not warrant a new trial. Although the defendant's lawyer was absent from the final hearing, the court found the complaint was not formally lodged as required by law. Consequently, the lower courts' decision to reject the retrial request was upheld, and the case was returned to the district court.
Legislator headnote
