Supreme Court allows late appeal due to identical addresses of second and supreme instance courts.

The Supreme Court of Poland set aside the appellate court's dismissal of a late appeal. The appellant's lawyer sent the appeal to the Supreme Court via the appellate court, citing the latter's address, while the appellate court had rejected it as time-barred. The court ruled that the identical physical addresses and the ambiguous phrasing 'via' created exceptional circumstances where the delivery to the Supreme Court was deemed valid for the appellate court. Consequently, the procedural defect was excused, and the appeal was accepted.
