Supreme Court refused to rule on employer liability for work accidents caused by management actions.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court declined to decide the legal question regarding employer liability for work accidents caused by organizational management acts. The plaintiff suffered a stroke after a heated discussion with superiors regarding a disciplinary warning, which was officially recognized as a work accident. The court ruled that the procedural defect in the submitted legal question prevented a ruling on both the definition of business movement and the causal link.
