Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the divorce action because the lower court incorrectly designated the wrong court as having jurisdiction. The plaintiff, R.L., sued Ł.L. for divorce, but the District Court in Szczecin erroneously identified the wrong venue under Article 45 of the Civil Procedure Code. The court ruled that the procedural defect required the case to be transferred to the correct court, rendering the current proceedings void.
