Employer not liable for inability to realize remaining work capacity due to non-causal reasons under Civil Code.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially overturned the lower court's ruling regarding compensatory pension for a seamstress with partial work capacity loss. The employer argued that the law only covers lost earnings from the injury, not the inability to utilize remaining skills caused by unrelated factors. The court agreed, finding the lower court's calculation method flawed as it incorrectly attributed non-causal limitations to the employer's liability.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 444 § 2 k.c.; The employer is liable only for the difference in earnings between full and reduced work capacity, excluding inability to utilize remaining capacity caused by factors unrelated to the injury.
