The situation in which all citizens found themselves during the pandemic was unprecedented. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that only formal restrictions prevented guests from visiting hotels, as they might have also chosen to isolate themselves. Such a verdict was issued by one of the district courts in Warsaw, where an entrepreneur filed a claim for compensation from the state. The case was resolved after almost three years – without holding hearings with the plaintiff's participation.
– The expert was not appointed, the General Prosecutor's Office filed a response to the lawsuit, and we filed a reply. And without any warning, one day a judgment appeared on the court's information portal - the court, incidentally referring to covid regulations, issued a verdict without holding a hearing – says lawyer Anna Arslan.
