Statutory interest does not accrue for employee delay in returning employer property unless damages are awarded.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially allowed the appeal, reducing the awarded statutory interest from 35% to 0% for the delayed return of a pager. The court held that statutory interest applies only to delayed monetary payments, not to the delayed return of physical property in an employment relationship. Consequently, the lower court lacked the legal basis to award interest for the employee's failure to return the pager on time.
Legislator headnote
