The Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's request to disqualify Judge Darczyński from hearing the cassation case. The appellant argued that the judge had previously participated in a related civil dispute between the same parties, creating an appearance of bias. The court held that the judge's prior involvement in a different procedural stage of the same legal relationship does not constitute a valid ground for disqualification under the Code of Civil Procedure.
