Plaintiffs' joint claim dismissed as formal co-litigation; individual appeal rights apply despite collective list.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the defendant's appeal regarding the joint claim of numerous plaintiffs against the Employees' Benefits Guarantee Fund. The lower court rejected the appeal because the individual claims did not exceed the monetary threshold for collective litigation, while the defendant argued that a collective payment list made the total value appealable. The court ruled that such a list is merely technical and does not alter the formal nature of the co-litigation, meaning appeal rights remain individual.
