AI generated

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the plaintiff's cassation appeal against the appellate court's judgment awarding compensation to the hospital. The plaintiff argued for increased damages, but the court found no legal basis to overturn the lower court's decision on liability and quantum. Consequently, the cassation complaint was rejected, and the plaintiff was ordered to pay the hospital's litigation costs.

Art. 385 § 1 k.p.c.; Art. 386 § 1 k.p.c.: The cassation court reviews only legal errors; it cannot substitute its own assessment of facts or liability, thus dismissing appeals against judgments where the lower courts correctly applied the law.
