Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by social security beneficiaries against a lower court ruling. The court held that the deceased's concubine was not a 'interested party' under the Civil Procedure Code because the social security debt liability fell solely on the statutory heirs who accepted the inheritance. The court reasoned that the concubine's rights were not directly affected by the judgment regarding the heirs' obligation to pay the deceased's unpaid contributions.
