Supreme Court dismisses appeal; daily grocery runs with alcohol do not break work-home commute.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the social insurance body's cassation appeal regarding a worker injured while returning home. The court held that routine grocery shopping during the shortest commute from work to home does not interrupt this journey, even if alcohol consumption occurred. Since the drinking was incidental to the trip and did not cause the accident, the break was deemed life-justified.
