Polish Supreme Court dismisses appeal where late lawyer appointment does not reset filing deadlines due to client negligence.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against a second-instance court's rejection of her request to reinstate the cassation deadline. The appellant had been properly notified of the deadline but failed to file a lawyer or request an extension until three days before expiration. The court ruled that merely appointing a lawyer late does not reopen the filing period because the delay was caused by the appellant's own unjustified inactivity.
