Achievements

On 11 February 2015 the Supreme Court approved the cessation appeal filed by the Law Firm (case reference number I CSK 753/13) and quashed the ruling of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw. The Supreme Court was on the position that the plea of violation of the following articles of the substantive law: Articles 1027 of the Civil Code, 123 1 item 1 of the Civil Code, 1007 Section 2 of the Civil Code in the wording applicable prior to 12 October 2011, raised in the cessation appeal, was justified.

 

The Supreme Court stated that the position contained in the resolution dated 10/10/2013, III CZP 53/13, according to which the submission by the party entitled to legitim of a petition for ascertainment of acquisition of the estate of the deceased person stops the running of the lapse period for the claim for legitim due from the inheritor; it directly refers to the claim for legitim of the heir at law entitled to inherit under the act against the heir at law, which corresponded to the situation of the Client we represented.

 

That is why our Client's claim for legitim was finally awarded in compliance with the brought action. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal and upheld the ruling of the Regional Court for Warszawa-Praga, which was favourable to the Law Firm's Client, in test case related to admissible causes of stopping the running of the lapse period for legitim. The final ruling, which was favourable to our Client, allowed her to obtain the legitim due to her after her grandmother, who had donated, during her lifetime, the only component of the estate, being a flat located in Warsaw, to the second heir at law. Case reference number: I CSK 753/13.
