Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the divorce action filed by W.R. against M.R. because the Lower Court in Krośnie incorrectly designated itself as the competent court. The plaintiff argued for a different venue, but the court found the Lower Court's designation of itself under Article 45 of the Code of Civil Procedure to be erroneous. Consequently, the proceedings were terminated without a substantive ruling on the divorce request.

Art. 45 k.p.c.; The court designated as competent by a lower court must be the one with jurisdiction according to the law; a designation of the same court is invalid if it contradicts statutory rules on venue.
