Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the Social Insurance Institution against a lower court ruling. The lower court found that the applicant's voluntary health insurance remained valid despite minor delays in paying premiums, which were excused by small business turnover and lack of notice. The Supreme Court agreed that the insurance continued until maternity benefits were acquired, rejecting the insurer's argument that late payments terminated coverage immediately.
