“The youngest Polish millionaire” Piotr Kaszubski sues for the text from a decade ago. Details of the case
The lawsuit, which went to the journalist, contains a request for an apology and compensation in the amount of 140 thousand. zloty. “I probably have many years of trial and prove that I wrote the truth 10 years ago,” commented the tailor on his LinkedIn profile.
As the portal Wirtualnemedia.pl writes, the tailor's article was published in March 2015, which raises questions about the limitation period for claims. Pursuant to art. 442 of the Civil Code, a claim for compensation for damage caused by an illegal act expires after three years from the moment when the injured person learned about the damage and the person responsible for repairing it. However, the maximum limitation period is 10 years from the event that caused damage.
When asked about this issue, patron Maciej Lach indicates that the situation may be more complex if the article is still available on the Internet. “If the text about Piotr Kaszubski is still on the Wprost website, the court can interpret it differently. It depends on the court. The case is not obvious and very interesting to me” – explains the lawyer in an interview with Wirtualnemedia.pl.
