Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's appeal regarding the dismissal of a cassation complaint due to a missed deadline. The lower court found that service was validly effected to an authorized workplace agent because the client had designated their employer's address for service without specifying a different recipient. The Court ruled that the statutory presumption of receipt by the workplace agent applies when no specific authorization to another person is given, thereby validating the service and the subsequent time limit calculation.
