Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Poland revoked the lower court's dismissal of interest claims against the social insurance agency. The agency argued that the claim was time-barred and that the delay was not its fault, citing a prior Supreme Court precedent regarding unconstitutional decisions. The court rejected this, stating that an illegal decision by the agency itself constitutes a fault for which interest must be paid, regardless of the specific legal error involved.
