AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court decision denying social insurance coverage to a farm owner's wife. The court found that the applicant lived abroad for work for years, visiting Poland only occasionally for holidays or family events, which contradicted the requirement of continuous residence and activity on the farm. Consequently, the court held that such sporadic visits and foreign employment preclude the legal status of running a Polish agricultural enterprise.
