Polonia (PL)
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court of Poland voided the appellate court's judgment because the lawyer failed to notify the court of the plaintiff's death before the verdict was issued. The material facts show the plaintiff died in October 1999, yet his lawyer continued to act under a mandate that expired upon his death, violating Article 96 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The court ruled that such procedural invalidity renders the entire appeal process void ab initio, making the remaining legal arguments irrelevant.
