Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the widow of a construction worker who died while working for a subcontractor. The court found that the worker acted in the interest of the subcontractor, not the general contractor, and had left his assigned work site without permission. Consequently, the court ruled that the accident did not meet the legal definition of a work-related accident under the relevant Act.
