Rainwater drainage from a building must be judged by building codes, not the Water Law's damage provision.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the administrative court's decision which incorrectly applied the Water Law to a rainwater drainage dispute. The court found that the lower court failed to properly establish whether the neighbor's damage was caused by the building's construction or other factors. Consequently, the case was remanded for a new trial based on building regulations instead of water law provisions.
