Supreme Court dismissed appeal because lawyer representing union member must pay court fees under civil procedure law.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal regarding court fees, ruling that the lawyer representing the union member was personally liable for costs. Although the union itself is exempt from fees, the lawyer acting as the employee's representative under specific civil procedure rules does not qualify for this exemption. Consequently, the unfiled appeal was rejected without prior summons to pay the required fee.
