Supreme Court dismisses appeal rejection due to unsigned copies, ruling only the original appeal needs a signature.

The Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court decisions that rejected an appeal solely because the plaintiff failed to sign the copies of the document. The plaintiff argued that procedural rules requiring signatures applied only to the original filing, not the copies, citing a 1967 precedent. The court agreed, holding that Article 370 of the Code of Civil Procedure applies only to formal defects that prevent the appeal from proceeding, and an unsigned copy does not constitute such a defect.
