text translated automatically from the Polish version

In accordance with the judgment of the Provincial Administrative Court in Kraków of 25 September 2024 (III SA/Kr 583/24) regarding the provisions of the Convention on the Recovery of Maintenance Claims Abroad, drawn up in New York on 20 June 1956 (Journal of Laws of 1961, No. 17, item 87), the application of the entitled person is considered in accordance with the law of the country in which the obligated person is staying, and the transferring body does not settle the matter regarding the recognition and enforcement of the maintenance obligation between the entitled person and the obligated person, but only facilitates the authorized person in settling such a case in another country by transferring it under the Convention to the receiving body.

The District Court, Independent Section for Legal Transactions with Foreign Countries in this case does not act as an enforcement body. Any initiative regarding possible reminder letters to foreign authorities in the event of non-receipt of maintenance payments rests with the applicant.
