The Supreme Court dismissed the plaintiff's claim regarding the excessive length of proceedings before the Court of Appeal in Katowice. The plaintiff argued that the appellate court should have issued a reformatory judgment instead of overturning the first-instance verdict and remanding the case for a new trial. The court ruled that the appellate court could have resolved the evidentiary issues without remanding, as the first-instance evidence was sufficient and the delay was attributable to the appellate court's own procedural choices.
