Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the extraordinary revision appeal filed by the Ministry of Justice against a lower court's award of salary arrears to a judge. The lower court had ordered the state to pay the difference between the actual and budgeted salaries, arguing that the budget law could not legally reduce existing wages. The Supreme Court held that determining whether these budget provisions violated the Constitution is exclusively the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Tribunal, not the ordinary courts or the Supreme Court itself.
