Civil claim dismissed because criminal proceedings suspension prevented civil claim recognition under Polish law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a civil judgment ordering the defendant to pay damages. The plaintiff had previously sought compensation in criminal proceedings, but the civil claim was suspended until the criminal case concluded. The court ruled that the defendant's earlier actions could not be deemed an acknowledgment of the debt because the civil proceedings were suspended at that time. Consequently, the statute of limitations expired due to the plaintiff's own inaction and the procedural status of the civil suit.
