Criminal conviction binds misappropriated amount but not civil court's assessment of actual damage caused.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a labor court judgment awarding damages to a company. The lower courts incorrectly assumed the criminal conviction for misappropriation fixed the exact amount of civil damage suffered. The court clarified that while the criminal verdict binds the specific sum misappropriated, the civil court must independently evaluate the actual financial loss incurred by the victim.
Legislator headnote
AI generatedArt. 284 § 2 k.k.; Art. 11 k.p.c.: A final criminal conviction for misappropriation binds the court regarding the amount embezzled but does not preclude the civil court from assessing the actual extent of damage caused by the crime.
