Supreme Court dismissed extraordinary review; commercial sewage plant tree removal requires environmental fee regardless of public utility purpose.

The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed an extraordinary review challenging a decision to charge a fee for tree removal for a sewage plant. The appellant argued that the facility's dual purpose for commercial and municipal needs should exempt it from the fee under specific environmental law provisions. The court ruled that the fee and the administrative permit for tree removal are autonomous mechanisms that do not exclude each other, and the intended use of funds does not justify fee exemption.
