Decision of the Court of Appeals in Katowice 1st Civil Division of 4th July 2014
I ACz 260/14

  1. It does not belong to the Court to settle any content-related prerequisites of the claims at the present stage of the proceedings, nevertheless, the goal of the passed act (the Act on pursuing claims in group proceedings) is for the potential judgement to identically affect all participants of the group, that is to say that the situation where the statement of claims is allowed only towards a part of the group and it is dismissed in relation to the remaining members is inadmissible. Only differentiation in terms of the awarded amounts is admissible.
  2. The identity of the legal basis should allow the Court to generally uniformly assess claims of all members of the group.
