The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Wojciech R. against the second-instance labor court's decision. The appellant argued that the lower court violated Article 477 of the Civil Procedure Code by failing to summon the State Treasury, which he claimed was the proper defendant. The court ruled that Article 391 § 1 of the Civil Procedure Code explicitly excludes the application of Articles 194-196 and 198 in second-instance proceedings, thereby also excluding Article 477. Since the mandatory summons provision was inapplicable during the second instance, the lower court could not have violated it, making the cassation groundless.

Art. 391 § 1 KPC; Art. 477 KPC: The exclusion of Articles 194-196 and 198 of the Civil Procedure Code in second-instance proceedings pursuant to Article 391 § 1 also excludes the application of Article 477, meaning the court cannot violate a provision that was legally inapplicable in that stage.
