Polonia (PL)
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the employer against a labor court judgment awarding damages to an employee. The employee argued that his pre-existing spinal condition constituted force majeure, exempting the employer from liability for the work-related injury. The court held that inherent susceptibility to illness does not qualify as force majeure when an external work event triggers the condition.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IAArt. 435 § 1 k.c.; Art. 361 § 1 k.c.: Force majeure does not encompass the victim's inherent susceptibility to illness; an employer remains liable for work accidents that accelerate pre-existing conditions.
