Supreme Court dismisses appeal; failure to state claim value invalidates appeal despite low fee limit.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal against the lower court's rejection of a cassation complaint. The appellant argued that the mandatory declaration of the claim's value was logically redundant since the value was already known in the case file and that the low fee limit of 30 zł exempted them from this requirement. The court ruled that the obligation to state the value is a distinct procedural prerequisite for admissibility in property disputes, independent of the fee calculation, and its absence justified the rejection.
