Abstract

In its judgment of 5 February 2020 (Case I OSK 3614/18) the Supreme Administrative Court found that the rights of a person who left property on territories belonging to the Republic of Poland before 1945 pass to his or her heirs. The judgment under review concerns the important issue of inheritance of the right to so-called Bug River compensation and the related requirement for heirs to prove that their testator left property in the former eastern voivodeships of the interwar Polish Republic. The heir must prove that the testator, at the time of his death, fulfilled all the conditions entitling him to obtain a decision confirming his right to Bug River compensation, in particular that he was the owner of such property, which he was subsequently forced to leave behind.
