Employee must repay employer's work accident compensation paid under mistaken legal belief.
Pologne (PL)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling ordering an employee to repay work accident compensation paid by his employer. The employer had paid the employee twice, believing a legal obligation existed, while the employee argued he acted without knowledge of the duty to repay. The court held that the statutory exemption from repayment requires the payer to have actual knowledge of the lack of obligation, which the employee lacked due to a mistaken legal belief.
Regeste Legislator
Généré par l'IAart. 411 pkt 1 k.c.; art. 300 k.p.: The exemption from repayment of unjust enrichment applies only if the payer had actual knowledge of the lack of obligation, not merely negligence in verifying it.
