The Supreme Court of Poland allowed the extraordinary review of a decision denying combatant rights to a deserter who joined Polish forces. The applicant had served in the Polish Airborne Brigade stationed in Britain but did not directly participate in specific battles. The court ruled that the statutory requirement for 'participation in the fight for Poland's independence' encompasses all military service during wartime, not just direct combat actions.
