Supreme Court allows appeal against appellate dismissal of cassation for lack of procedural grounds.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland set aside the appellate court's dismissal of a cassation appeal filed by a claimant seeking disability pension. The claimant argued that the lower court failed to verify written expert opinions, violating procedural rules, while the appellate court incorrectly declared the appeal inadmissible due to a lack of material law violation. The Supreme Court ruled that the appellate court lacked authority to make a substantive assessment of the cassation's merit and must instead evaluate whether the appeal met procedural requirements under the Code of Civil Procedure.
