Supreme Court ruled that a spouse cannot be considered a farm worker merely by living on the farm or helping occasionally.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court decision denying social insurance benefits to a farmer's wife. The court found that the wife did not meet the statutory definition of a 'farm worker' because she only occasionally helped with harvests and primarily cared for children, rather than working permanently on the farm. Consequently, the court held that the lower court erred in applying the law by failing to recognize that a spouse is excluded from the definition of a farm worker under the relevant social insurance statute.
