Social security contribution case costs determined by dispute value, not appeal scope, per Supreme Court ruling.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court reversed the appellate court's decision on litigation costs, ordering the partners to pay a higher amount based on the total dispute value rather than the appeal scope. The court held that the matter concerned social security obligations, not social security benefits, and thus the specific fee schedule for such cases applied. Consequently, the court ruled that the solidary obligation for costs must be calculated according to the full subject matter value as required by law.
