Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially allowed the cassation appeal by overturning the appellate court's dismissal of an expert opinion regarding a damaged computer disk. The appellate court rejected the evidence request based solely on the defendant's claim that the disk was damaged, without ordering an expert assessment. The Supreme Court ruled that such technical determinations require specialized knowledge under Article 278 of the Civil Procedure Code and cannot rely on party assertions alone.
