Supreme Court rules 8-month compensation claim deadline is absolute, barring court action after expiry.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the legal question regarding whether an eight-month deadline for claiming social compensation is absolute. The applicant sought inclusion in a compensation register after the statutory period expired, arguing the deadline was merely procedural. The Court held that the deadline is a substantive bar because the right to compensation is newly created and strictly regulated by public law, preventing voluntary waiver or extension.
