The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the District Court's dismissal of an appeal filed by one of four defendants in a joint bankruptcy case. The appellant's lawyer claimed the appeal covered the entire judgment but specified a value equal to the debt owed only to him. The court ruled that because the lawyer lacked authority to represent the other three defendants, the appeal's subject matter value is limited to the specific claim against the appellant, not the total sum of all claims.
