Cassation appeal dismissed because the lawyer failed to pay the correct court fee based on the dispute value.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a lawyer representing a plaintiff in a labor dispute. Although the underlying case involved a claim to restore employment, the appeal was rejected because the legal representative paid a fixed fee instead of the required proportional fee calculated from the dispute's value. The court ruled that professional lawyers are strictly obligated to calculate and pay the correct amount without prior summons, and partial payment constitutes a failure to meet this statutory requirement.
