I urge everyone participating to understand a peculiar risk there. First, as Peacefuls pointed out, if you sue Gox Poland for fraud they can probably go straight into court administration mode. Which means a long and untender road until which time the subsidiary will already be tied up into the insolvency storm of Gox Japan. Then, the best case is you will get the measly 5000 PLN. Which, you supposedly should receive anyway given the liable equity capital.
Second, assuming they are in charge of both the deposit account and the EUR account, this would inhibit transactions from there as well. Since people still receive payments from there (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=489652.0), it shows money is left. Therefore I propose to not sue them for fraud and halting operations, but to apply pressure and negotiate to keep fulfilling their normal business obligations until funds are depleted or official bankruptcy repercussions govern the course of things anyhow.
OP, your thoughts on this? (My sincere condolences, it's bitter times but you will come through eventually).

Very well said! Your thoughts OP?

Yes, I have taken all this^ into consideration before i started this. To be honest with you, this is not my personal vendetta on mt.gox, i am just trying to help the community and if they want me to stop i will stop all proceeding.
I have already tried several methods of negotiation mostly with mt.gox poland by sending letters and emails. Representative mr. Bratlomiej Szabat is unreachable. mr. Mark Karpeles wrote in the recent announcement that he instructed all staff not to communicate or respond to any requests. that might be the reason for that. 

I know you are frustrated as well as we all are, but I really think your actions (if succesful) are going to cause more harm than good, seeing as the best you can hope for is the 5000PLN which you will eventually get anyway if things go as south as they seem to be heading. I personally urge you to reconsider your lawsuit (and yes I have a pending SEPA withdrawal from Gox so I am acting also a bit selfishly here).
