Uwzględnienie skargi kasacyjnej przez Sąd Najwyższy jako podstawa żądania naprawienia szkody wyrządzonej przez wydanie prawomocnego orzeczenia niezgodnego z prawem
Successful cassation to the Supreme Court as a basis for claiming damages for erroneous court decisions

Summary/Abstract: This article refers to the liability of the State Treasury for damages for erroneous court decisions in civil cases. To be able to sue the State Treasury for damages, the claimant must first obtain a Supreme Court decision. The Polish Code of Civil Procedure provides for a separate claim to determine that the court decision is in breach of the law, but there is also a regulation by which a successful cassation to the Supreme Court is to be an equivalent of that procedure and allows the claimant to sue for damages. This equivalent regulation, albeit with regard to legal provisions, is not accepted in the reported cases, and this provides grounds for the criticism in the article.
