General power of attorney covers appeal filing; separate authorization not required under Polish Civil Procedure Code.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court's dismissal of a cassation appeal due to alleged formal defects. The appellant argued that a general power of attorney granted in the case did not authorize filing the cassation, while the lower court insisted on a separate authorization for this extraordinary procedure. The court ruled that a general power of attorney inherently includes the authority to file a cassation appeal under Article 91 of the Civil Procedure Code.
