The Supreme Court of Poland quashed the appellate court's judgment, which awarded damages exceeding the plaintiff's specific claim for overtime pay. The plaintiff had requested a fixed sum for specific hours, but the lower court applied a statutory presumption to award a higher amount based on expert opinion. The court ruled that Article 322 of the Civil Procedure Code only allows courts to adjust the amount when the claim and facts are precisely defined, not to create new factual bases for damages.
