The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Jacek G. against a second-instance decision denying his claim for a farmer's disability pension. The appellant argued that the courts failed to provide sufficient procedural guidance under Article 5 of the Civil Procedure Code, yet the appellate court had already thoroughly examined the medical evidence and closed the trial. The court held that Article 5 only mandates providing necessary guidance for a proper proceeding, not detailed instructions on all possible actions, and that the lower courts acted within their authority by relying on existing evidence.
