The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the appellate court's dismissal of the Social Insurance Institution's cassation appeal. The lower court had rejected the appeal because a lawyer from the ZUS branch lacked authority, arguing that employees cannot act as independent legal representatives. The Supreme Court ruled that the ZUS President, as the head of the entire institution, possesses the statutory power to grant such authority to any qualified lawyer, regardless of their employment status with the branch.
