Employee suing for mobbing damages over 50k PLN must pay court fees under general civil rules.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that an employee claiming mobbing damages exceeding 50,000 PLN must pay proportional court fees. The plaintiff argued for a fee waiver based on mental health issues and the nature of the dispute, but the court clarified that the general fee rule applies when the claim surpasses the 50,000 PLN threshold. Consequently, the court held that the specific exemption for low-value labor disputes does not extend to claims above this limit, requiring the employee to pay fees calculated on the dispute's value.
