The Supreme Court of Poland accepted the cassation appeal filed by a shareholder against a lower court's dismissal of an information request. The plaintiff sought disclosure of documents from a public limited liability company, arguing a right to information under the Act on Access to Public Information, while the defendant claimed exemptions based on commercial confidentiality. The court ruled that the lower court erred in applying the statutory exemptions, thereby allowing the appeal for further review of the disclosure obligation.
