Sovereign immunity prevented Germany form indemnity.


Polish Supreme Court rejected a claim for damages of a polish citizen against Germany.
In the case Natoniewski v. Germany (IV CSK 465/09) judges of the Supreme Court stated that the concept of sovereignity and equality of nations implicates a jurisdictional immunity which prevents the sovereign nation from lawsuits or prosecution without its consent. This means that polish judicial system chose other route then Greek and Italian courts which allowed claims in similar cases.
