Supreme Court allows civil claim for mobbing damages where mental health harm results from unlawful acts, even if unintentional.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland set aside the lower court's dismissal of a civil claim for damages caused by workplace mobbing. The plaintiff argued that stress from her superior's actions caused a health breakdown, while the defendant contended the lower court correctly rejected the claim. The court ruled that proving mobbing does not require intent to harm health, only unlawful acts causing such damage, and noted pending criminal proceedings might confirm the causal link.
