About the Possibility of Claims for Compensation for the Death of the Nearest Family Member Deceased before 3 August 2008

• Languages of publication: PL

Abstracts

The present article discusses the adjudication of compensation for the death of the closest family members, which occurred prior to August 3, 2008, i.e. before the date of entry into force of Article 446 § 4 of the Civil Code. The author argues with the concept presented in the Supreme Court's judicature, according to which the compensation may be adjudged on the basis of Article 448 of the Civil Code, as causing the death of a person is at the same time breaking the bonds between the family members and the deceased. This argument had occasionally appeared before the year 2008, but never before the year 2005. Consequently, it might be reasonably argued that the Supreme Court, while interpreting the provision of Art. 448 of the CC is seeking an excuse, rather than a real reason for the recognition of the legitimacy of claims for compensation.
