Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland allowed the appellant's appeal against the appellate court's dismissal of the cassation. The appellant argued that work injury claims for pension and lump-sum compensation should be cumulatively valued under Article 191 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The court ruled that these claims constitute a single subject of dispute, meaning their values must be added together to determine the appeal threshold. Consequently, the appeal was accepted because the combined value exceeded the statutory minimum required for cassation.
