The Supreme Court of Poland partially allowed a judge's claim for salary adjustment by overturning lower court rulings that dismissed the claim. The lower courts held that the 1992 budget law, which suspended salary increases, was merely an administrative act and could not alter statutory salary scales. The Supreme Court reversed this, citing a Constitutional Tribunal ruling that the suspension clause was constitutional and valid, thereby establishing that the budget law effectively governed the judge's remuneration for that period.
