Inheritance of a claim for compensation

In a judgment of November 28, 2019 (III CSK 284/17), the Supreme Court confirmed the prohibition of inheriting a claim for compensation, except if the testator had already died during the redress process. The regulation provided for in art. 445 § 3 of the Civil Code. is a lex specialis in relation to art. 922 of the Civil Code The possibility of inheriting the claim results from the assumption that the death of the injured party during the trial should not bring benefits to the person responsible. As an exception to the general rule provided for in Article 922 of the Civil Code, art. 445 § 3 of the Civil Code. it must be interpreted narrowly, and the compensatory function in this respect must be understood broadly. The claim that passed to the heirs becomes a specific claim, which is part of the inheritance.
